Long time, no see. As noted in my last official AMERICAN TELEGRAPH, I was quitting the blog and moving on to other commitments that I have to get completed within specific time frames.

I am very happy to tell you all that I have completed the Second Edition of my first novel, LAND, and wanted to let you know that it is now available through Amazon.com.

I hope you can get a copy and give it a read. I am sure you will find it very interesting, informative, educational, entertaining – and a story ending that will shock the hell out of the mundane type of Hollywood endings that have become the norm nowadays.

Notice, there is not a question mark behind the above heading – on purpose. What I am talking about will become evident as you read.

My friend/mentor called me this morning, at 05:00 Pacific Standard Time, 08:00 in Maryland. When he realized what he had done, he apologized for calling so early – and then apologized again for his “terrible prediction.”

I laughed, we talked a little longer, then we said goodbye.

Since I was awake, I decided to think back to all that has transpired these past 10 years, since coming “back” to America.

However, first off, my sincere apologies. I was again correct in my predicting that Barack Obama would win a second term. I am not going to say, “I told you so.” I learned not to say that a long time ago. It is a sign of immaturity, to say the least.

But I did see it coming. And this is what makes this AMERICAN TELEGRAPH so difficult to write.

Since my coming back to this country, I have immersed myself into what I thought was a worthy cause, getting involved in politics, running for national office, writing a newsletter and trying to help others see what was happening to this, once great, country of ours.

What took place last night was a culmination of what I have been fighting against for the last decade. The de-moralizing and, in essence, the de-stabilizing, of America and its stature of being exceptional.

In all honesty, I saw it coming when I came “back” from Vietnam. Vietnam returnees never really came “home.” They just came back. Remember, the Hippie Sixties?”

I will not go into a long list of downward steps that this country has taken since then. It would just bore you.

What I do want to share with you is how I have tried to show people to prepare for what was – and is – coming.

I tried to explain to readers the importance of getting a Passport.

I tried to show you how to make money in the Stock Market by writing Covered Calls. You can do this anywhere in the World through an Internet on-line trading account. I use Scottrade and they are great.

I also tried to show people that living in another country was actually a very possible alternative.

So what I want to share today is something that I have been planning on for a long time – just in case things turned out the way they did.

AN ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE

I was not fortunate enough to be born into a family that had money. I have always had to work for a living. People who have inherited land, valuable personal property or money are the lucky ones.

I get a kick out of those who have inherited large tracts of land or a windfall amount of money. They always go to great lengths to justify how they actually “worked for it.” Nothing could be further from the truth. But that is not my point.

What I am getting at is, things have fundamentally changed in America – as of last night. And it will not be getting any better for those of us who were not born with a silver spoon in our mouths.

Having lived outside of America for almost three decades gives me a much different perspective on what this country is really like.

When I came back from Vietnam, I was astounded at the revolution that had taken place. And I missed it.

When I came back from Japan, in 2003, I was again shocked at what had happened. People talked, dressed, acted, and looked the same. Dude!

Tattoos, body-piercings, 80% obesity, snotty high school kids, uneducated college graduates, right-wing nuttos and left-wing screwballs, just to mention a few things that blew me away.

I felt like Rip van Winkle.

Then I looked closer and saw mounds of corruption, a country well on its way to self-destruction and few, if any, well-intentioned people willing to do anything about it.

I won’t rehash what I did.

So, lets’ skip to where we are today.

AMERICANS LOVE TO BE TEACHERS; HATE TO BE STUDENTS

Upon my return from Japan, I was telling everybody about how great Japan was, but nobody wanted to listen. The most common reply was, “Well, if it was so damn good, why don’t you go back and live there?”

I have always admired the wide perspective that “average” Americans have.

So, let me put this in a somewhat different manner – and see if you can get my point.

I will use Japan as my example, simply because I am most familiar with it.

CAR

If you live in Japan, you do not need a car. That means no car insurance, no traffic accidents, no gas to buy and no huge purchase of $30,000 to own a car in the first place. When all these costs alone are added up, you come out saving thousands of dollars – every month.

Transportation in Japan is very difficult to explain to people who have never seen the transportation system itself.

The Bullet Trains have been in existence since 1964 – and they have never had an accident. Try matching that record with AMTRAK.

The taxis are spotless, efficient, and relatively inexpensive.

Local trains and busses are ALL on time. The waiting areas have seats or benches to sit on and they run every 10 minutes or so, depending on the location and city.

SAFETY

In Japan, very few people are killed with guns. The police, for the most part., are very courteous, kind and efficient.

You can walk the streets of both large and small cities at anytime of the day – or night – and not be molested. Try that in Detroit or Chicago and see what happens.

No beggars, very few vagabonds and homeless people and not much of a gang problem – outside of the criminal organization called the Yakuza. They are the Japanese version of the American Mafia.

FOOD PRICES

The cost of living in Japan has remained the same since I went to live there 25 years ago. A quart of milk is $1.50 and a can of beer is about $1.00. This sounds high, until you take into consideration the other benefits that I will go into in a moment.

If you don’t eat out a lot, you can live a reasonably inexpensive life – and enjoy yourself at the same time.

Shopping in Japan is a paradise – if you like that sort of thing. Everything they have is on par with any other big city in the World.

The service in the shops, stores and restaurants is shockingly good. They even have clerks who can make proper change, without even thinking about it. Try that in America sometime – especially when you try to help the cashier with extra change. They get completely confused and freak out, right on the spot. Not so, in Japan.

EDUCATION

The literacy rate in Japan is 98%. Need I say more?

SOCIAL SECURITY AND “MEDICARE”

Japan has one of the best social security systems – and national medicare systems – in the World.

Yes, the government runs the healthcare, to a degree. But you can get extra coverage if you want it. You also get some of the best service you could ever hope for.

I’ll never forget the three ladies that would come to my wife’s mother’s house when she had cancer.

They were gracious, always on time, brought cookies and tea – and took her pulse, administered medicine – and talked and joked with her mother for a couple of hours three times a week. FREE of charge.

Of course, there is a “co-pay” of $10. I think that speaks for itself.

SO, WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR POINT?

My point is, you can live anywhere you want to live – and can do so in a comfortable and dignified manner.

More and more people are moving out of America – and with good reason. They are packing their bags as I write.

Start to research the prospects of living overseas and you will be surprised at what other countries have to offer.

England is OK, but has a lot of problems. Ireland, Wales and Scotland are good places to think about.

Australia and New Zealand are great places to consider. I have visited Australia four times and New Zealand three times, and would not think twice about living there on a permanent basis.

I remember one woman telling me, “I found my American Dream – here in New Zealand.” That statement really stuck with me.

All of the above are English-speaking countries, so language would not present a problem, as it would in Japan.

All of the above-mentioned countries have good medical facilities (National Healthcare), are relatively safe and nice places to live.

Closer to “home” and you might consider Canada, Bermuda – or Belize. Again, all English-speaking countries.

What I am trying to say is that, you do not have to live in America for the rest of your life – just because you were born here.

It is a big world out there – and you can live anywhere you choose.

A FEW PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF AMERICA

Every time I make predictions, some readers get very annoyed. I apologize for that.

By the way, I had a woman reader who actually went back and checked my percentage of predictions, and I was pretty close to 70% correct. Just for the record.

First off, taxes are going up. And that means all taxes. They have to go up. THAT is why no politician wanted to talk about them – until after the election.

This includes income taxes – on everybody – not just the “rich.” Property taxes, estate taxes and a NATIONAL SALES TAXis on the way. This is in addition to all the taxes we have already.

The Supreme Court is going to be filled with FOUR Obama appointees. You think it is bad now? Just wait. It is coming.

And then you will see the 2nd Amendment simply disappear. Believe me, our Constitution will be amended, to outlaw the personal possession of all guns. Hold me to this one – it is coming.

Obama will issue Executive Orders as he pleases. He has no one to answer to, now that he is in his second term.

I will reiterate this point. Please remember, the Constitution can and will be amended, to suit those in power.

At times, Congress has passed a “bad” law – Prohibition (XVIII Amendment) – and then AMENDED the Constitution (Repeal of Prohibition XXI Amendment) to make alcohol legal again.

Now, for those of you who are inclined to do a little studying, please check out the next Amendment following the Repeal of Prohibition – and see what you come up with. A hint: XXII Amendment.

If the Constitution can be amended – it can also REPEALthose Amendments. Yes, my friends, it can happen. FDR served FOUR terms.

I could go on, but I think you are finally starting to get the point.

History doesn’t repeat itself – foolish people do.

MY ULTERIOR MOTIVE

The reason for me at least trying to convince readers (friends) to think about living in a different country is pretty self-evident.

We pay some of the highest taxes in the world, yet we have:

No workable healthcare system. Obamacare is going to be more expensive with less services available.

No reliable form of transportation anywhere near what Japan has to offer, thus we are forced to buy a car – and pay ever increasing gasoline costs, not to mention higher insurance premiums.

And then there is the total infrastructure of this county. In all honesty, it is below Third World levels in many parts of the country. Roads, in Japan, are smooth as glass – potholes unheard of.

America has one of the highest crime rates in the entire World.

The cost of rent/mortgage (tax deductions are going away in December) are going up, as is the price of electricity, phone and Internet services. How is your bill for XFINITY doing these days? And can anybody tell me what all those extras charges are for? More are coming.

Unemployment is going back up – once the real numbers come out, again after the election.

So we have no workable healthcare, no reliable transportation, income taxes are going up, energy costs are going through the roof, along with unemployment on the rise. We will have more people on welfare and food stamps.

And did I forget something? Yes, I did. On purpose.

The exorbidant cost of HIGHER EDUCATION. Student costs for college are rising at an alarming rate. Some averages put it at 10% – per year. And no one is even talking about the next bubble – STUDENTLOAN DEFAULTS.

And then there is the $16,000,000,000,000 in debt, much of which is owed to China.

Folks, these costs are coming – and WE THE PEOPLE are going to have to pick up the tab, again.

SAYONARA

I have tried to do my best for this country since the first time I rode around with my father in his 1951 red, four-door Ford, with him honking the horn and me screaming out the window:

“Sure to Click, with Ike and Dick.”

That was in 1956 when a real Republican was running for President – Dwight D. Eisenhower. I was nine years old.

At 18 I went to Vietnam, spent 26 months and 11 days in that country.

In 2003 I ran for Congress on a platform of a strong national defense, reforming the total tax code, along with reforming our education system – and almost won in the primary – without taking a single dime in campaign contributions. And without the official endorsement of the Washington State GOP. They despised my stance on gay unions and abortion.

I have been writing this AMERICAN TELEGRAPH since running for office – again at my own expense.

I have now reached the age of 65 and to be honest, I am getting tired.

The Republican Party has changed so much that I do not recognize it anymore.

As I predicted, over two years ago – gay marriage and abortion – would play a pivotal roll in this election, too. I took a lot of garbage for saying that. Many people from the Evangelical Element said I was dead wrong – and full of “sour grapes.”

Does the name Sandra Fluck ring a bell?

No? Then how about Todd Akin? He just lost the GOP race for Senate for his idiotic remarks.

I was not wrong. The GOP was – and still is.

Until the Republicans dispose of the likes of KarlRove, Reinhold ReincePriebus, Pat Robertson and his ludicrous 700 Club, along with scandal-tainted religious evangelical Ralph Reed, and the party’s continued acceptance of the poisonous Evangelical Element, I see no reason to believe that the Republican Party will be nothing but the circus side-show that it has devolved into.

Mitt Romney should have never been the candidate. I tried my best to get people to look at Jon Huntsman – but the GOP elite decided that it was Mitt’s turn. Just like it was Bob Dole’s turn. And it was John McCain’s turn.

And the GOP did little to help one of the best Senators they have had in years – when they hung Scott Brown out to dry – again, because they did not like his views on “social issues.”

The GOP, along with its arrogant elite are insisting on committing political suicide, election by election.

Until they change – things will remain the same.

It kind of reminds me of a Jewish story I heard some years ago:

A young Rabbi came upon an old Rabbi, praying at the Wailing Wall and asked, “Rabbi, what are you doing?”

The old Rabbi gave an annoyed look at the young Rabbi and said, “I am praying for peace.”

“How long have you been praying for peace?”

“For 30 years,” came the reply.

“Well, after 30 years, what does it feel like?”

The old Rabbi looked at the young Rabbi and said, “It feels like I have been talking to a wall.”

There is one bright outcome of Obama being re-elected. It takes away the asinine Liberal claim that America is a racist country. Obama could not have gotten elected without the white vote – and he never could have gotten re-elected without the white vote.

And for those of you still interested in the truth, the biggest racial class of poor people in America are not Hispanic/Latino, nor are they black. The biggest ethnic group of poor people in America – is WHITE PEOPLE. And it is getting bigger every day.

Like I said above, I am getting tired. And before I die I would like to spend some time traveling with my wife, Akiko, and perhaps go back to live out our days in Japan – in peace and dignity. I have had a few teaching jobs offered to me and I am seriously considering them, as a way to stay active in retirement. I have always liked teaching Japanese students and would enjoy getting back into the field.

With that in mind, I wanted to say thank you – everyone – for all of your time, effort and kind consideration that you have shown me over this past decade. I will never forget how nice you all have been – even those who have disagreed with me

One, in particular, made me sit up and take notice. Yes, it was from my friend again and he was jumping with joy.

Bear in mind that he seems to get these things right – much better than my predictions, by a long shot.

His prediction:

He is adamantly convinced that Romney will be the winner – and it will be over convincingly by midnight! Here is the kicker. He called the Electoral Votes between 305 to 317 for Romney. Strange numbers, to say the least, but that is what he predicted.

I have had a number of e-mails – and other phone calls – from people, near the nervous, breakdown/freak out point – that Obama might win a second term.

However, the more I have back-checked what my friend told me, the more I think he might be onto something – again.

This is not to say that I am changing my prediction. I won’t believe it until I see it. But, if he is right, and it is over by a large margin – early in the evening – then there are a few things that must now be taken into consideration.

RAMIFICATIONS OF AN EARLY ROMNEY WIN

If, and that is a BIG if, Romney wins, these are a few things that could take place as early as this evening:

1. Riots in certain sections of the country might break out – putting police in a very tenuous position. The National Guard might be needed to quell the angry crowds.

2. Random acts of violence – including drive-by shootings – could take place.

3. Flash Mobs called out, via cell phones, could erupt across the country.

This is NOT meant to scare people – rather to warn them. I usually take a walk in the early evening, just when it is getting dark. I will not do this tonight. I will be home by 6:00 PM, with a couple of six-pacs and a bottle of champagne to watch the returns – just in case.

But, in all seriousness, I have spoken to a lot of people in my neighborhood – Liberals and Government Employees – and for the most part, things are relatively calm.

But, in recent days, a number of people have become much more “aggressive” in their tone of voice. One woman, in particular, that I often stop and talk to, simply passed me by on my walk last night and said, “Hello,” and kept right on going. There was a certain “sneer” in her voice.

Others have become more curt in their greetings, as opposed to one year ago. They were all laughing at the GOP, Romney – and me. I have let it be known that I despise Obama – and everything he stands for.

All that has now changed.

“Hell hath no wrath like a Liberal scorned.”

-Dick Gregory-

My advice for everyone is to get back home early, stay inside and make sure everything is secure.

There have been numerous threats of violence against Romney if he should win – and also against all those who support him. One need only go to the Liberal websites and look at all the venom that is dripping from those newsletters.

Also, be prepared to hear patrol car sirens if Romney pulls out a big win early. In all honesty, I heard more than usual, around where we live, in Sacramento last night – a relatively “safe neighborhood.”

That could change very fast if things play out like my friend is so sure they will.

A good offense is a good offense!

A word to the wise . . . .

RACHAEL MADDOW AND CHRIS MATTHEWS

I have implored readers to make sure to watch these shows – if, for nothing else, to see what they are saying.

Last night, I was watching Rachael Maddow, to see what her body language was saying.

I did not need to look for that. What actually came out of her mouth was so stunning, that my wife, who speaks English as a second language, turned to me and asked, “Does she actually know what she is saying?”

Rachael Maddow said that the WHITE vote is what is going to put Romney back in the WHITE House – if he gets elected. It was so patently racist that I felt embarrassed for her.

She then went on to say that people are not being told the truth about Obama. They are being LIED to by the Republicans.

Then she said, “Obama has actually LOWERED THE DEFICIT.”

I kid you not, she said that on nationwide TV last night. See if you can get a copy of her show on the Internet.

My wife and I just stared at each other.

So, here is a suggestion for all of you tonight.

We already know what FOX is going to say and also what CNN will report. Watch them for awhile – and if my friend’s prediction is actually starting to take place – switch over to Rachael or Chris.

You might be in for a very entertaining evening. I guarantee – they will both go into meltdown mode.

Maddow was close to frantic, hysteria last night. If that is a prelude of things to come, this evening could prove to be very memorable, in more ways than one.

THE ONE PENNY PRINCIPLE

When I was a child living on 11916 Neenach St., Sun Valley, California, my father and I used to walk to the local liquor store. He usually bought two quarts of Olympia Beer, in the bottle, and then walked back to our place.

Returning home one evening my father spotted a penny on the ground, bent down and picked it up, brushed it off and stuck it into his pocket.

I asked him why he would pick up one penny. He looked at me and said:

“If I find 99 more pennies, then I have $1.00. But if I didn’t pick up this penny, I would still have just ninety-nine cents.”

That little lesson has stuck with throughout my life – and to this day I still pick up every penny I see on the ground.

And so goes it with each and every VOTE. Whether you want to believe it or not – your VOTE does count.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE TODAY.

It is the most important RIGHT we have LEFT.

As a side note, the Stock Market is up 135 points here on election day. If this holds, and the rumors circulating around Wall Street and Washington, D.C., prove to be true, then Mitt Romney will be our next President of the United States of America.

I have received an increasing number of emails where people are discouraged and ready to give up, fearing that Obama is going to win a second term – no matter what.

Many have said that my “negative tone” has made them feel as though “all is lost.”

NOTHING could be further from the truth.

I have simply been reminding everyone that it is the Electorate that is to blame – not the Elected.

I have been trying to WAKE PEOPLE UP to the fact that if WE THE PEOPLE don’t VOTE – that means EVERYONE of us must vote – then Obama will get a second term, hands down.

I have always ended my newsletters with “Keep thinking positive.” I don’t put these newsletters together with a negative – losing attitude – in mind. But we MUST be aware of what we are up against. Be prepared to fight. And, if need be, be prepared to die – but never give up.

I remember, when I was recovering from polio, my mother’s constant encouragement – with a strong hand to help me along. I can walk today – thanks to her. She never gave up on me – but she kept the pressure on me, to make sure that I would not be “a cripple.”

When wounded in Vietnam, I was determined to see again – after being hit in the eye and nose with in-coming mortar round shrapnel. I can see out of both eyes – not 100% – but I can see.

When I had a motorcycle accident, my doctor said that I would walk, but with a limp, because of my damaged left knee. I walk fine – but will have my left knee replaced early next year. It finally gave out. However, no limp up to this point in life. A lot of pain, yes. But no limp.

And during my 2004 congressional campaign, against all odds, I only lost by about 4% of the vote in the primary – after many said I did not stand a chance.

Others who have followed, in later years, actually GAVE UP before their campaign was even finished. They just simply quit. I could never live with myself if I gave up like that. I would rather have my ass kicked from here to Kingdom Come, than back down from a fight.

Through it all, I HAD to keep thinking positive. You MUST keep thinking positive. In truth, WE THE PEOPLE have no other choice. We are Americans – and WE always think positive.

And THAT, my friends, is what makes WE THE PEOPLE – and the United States of America EXCEPTIONAL.

So please, no more bellyaching. No more complaining. Work up to the last minute of this campaign – and then work some more.

Never give up. That is NOT the American way. Keep going. Things will get better. They MUST get better.

SOME GOOD NEWS

I got another phone call from my mentor/friend, we met and had a nice conversation in the park, just outside the Capitol building in downtown Sacramento, yesterday late in the afternoon.

Maybe it was the beautiful weather, perhaps it was just sitting outside, but he was more jubilant than I have seen him in a long time. He was not nearly this happy at the end of McCain’s campaign.

He told me, almost like a gleeful child, that he has been criss-crossing the country, at his own expense, and talking to a lot of “old farts” and he stated that he has never seen so many “pissed off folks” in his whole life. And “everyone is going to vote for Romney – if it is the last thing they ever do!”

He said that people are more up in arms than he has ever seen them before. He also said that people who voted for Obama, the first time around, are “proud to announce that they are not going to be fooled twice by him.”

Did you catch the key word? “PROUD.”

Apparently they are not ashamed to admit they made a mistake – and are now “bound and determined” to make amends for their error.”

If only the younger Liberals, who are still letting pride stand in their way, would think in the same manner.

Anybody can make a mistake. But it takes a person with real courage to admit the mistake – and then take steps to remedy the situation. Talk bout the GREATEST GENERATION.

Many of them want to vote for Romney as their “last good gesture to America before they die,” he said, as we got up to leave.

Now, how is that for a positive outlook on life!

After our conversation, I said goodbye to him and he disappeared into the Capitol building – NOT going through the Security Guard Entrance. He just walked around the other side of the station – and EVERYBODY greeted him as he passed. I was blown out, to say the least.

It was a privilage to watch that elderly gentleman do it with such dignity and grace – but without a speck of arrogance. Humble to the core – yet hard as nails. A tribute to the Greatest Generation, if there ever was one.

TWO MORE THINGS TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD

This first one was sent ot me by my brother who lives in Lawrenceville, Georgia. By the way, he told me that a few days ago he paid $3.09 a gallon for gas. So maybe my prediction was not all that far off. Too bad that price is not the national average.

This information is from one of the few pollsters that I have real confidence in. Please read it and see what you think. If it does not give you a “tingle up your leg” then you are dead.

I find it reprehensible that the Mass Media is NOT reporting on the violence and looting that is going on in some parts of the devastated areas in both New York and New Jersey, plus other parts of affected areas throughout the east coast.

Bits of news are streaming out that privatearmed guards are being considered for deployment to protect private property in many areas. The police are too busy taking care of other things.

Could this be an extension of the entitlement mentality?

I hate to think of what would happen if Romney would actually win on November 6th. Many groups have threatened that they will trash cities all across the nation.

But, I have little fear of that actually happening – because I still believe that Obama will secure a second term – simply because the balance of power between those who work – and those who receive – has tipped in favor of the Entitlement State Mentality.

Apparently, I am not alone in this assumption. No matter what the GOP says, it still looks like an uphill battle to me.

Let’s hope that those who are predicting a second term for Obama are wrong – including me.

HOW IS JAPAN DOING?

With all the problems that are going on in America, with relation to Hurricane Sandy, Japan is quietly rebuilding – after a horrendous Earthquake and Tsunami of Biblical proportions – which took thousands of lives in their wake.

Yes, to the credit of the Japanese, no looting has been reported, people are helping each other – and cities are rebuilding – without waiting for the government to give its approval.

People often ask me what I liked best about Japan.

That is a hard question to answer – because there is not just ONE thing that I liked best.

However, I have to say that the “Japanese Spirit” has to be at the top of the list.

The nation of Japan has a history of killer earthquakes, flooding and disastrous Tsunamis.

Tokyo (Edo) in 1923, for example, where over 100,000 people perished – with NO looting. Only the Imperial Hotel was sparred – due to the fact that it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and was built entirely on a platform (foundation) that floated on water!

Some people seem to forget that we have already endured a Nuclear Holocaust.

Hiroshima was the first one to experience an Atomic Bomb, on August 6, 1945.

Nagasaki was the second – just three days later – on August 9, 1945.

A total of over 200,000 people were killed instantly – and thousands more died in the following weeks, months – and years.

Then the terrible task of rebuilding the WHOLE COUNTRY. Again, no looting.

To look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki today, it is almost impossible to imagine the death and destruction that took place on those dark days of Japan’s past history.

Yet, it was just a “short” 67 years ago.

When my wife and I walked through Hiroshima the place was spotless, the people extremely friendly, no homeless transients begging for “5 dollars to take the bus home,” people working to make ends meet, great food and the endless “can do” attitude of every Japanese person in the city, made it a joy just to be alive.

Japan is, again, rebuilding itself into an even better, freer and stronger nation than ever before.

Anybody been to Detroit lately?

One last thought, sent to me on a political pin by a friend in Washington. Thanks Gerrit.

The pin reads:

“IN JAN. 2009 A GALLON OF GAS WAS $1.84 – THINK ABOUT THAT.

I agree – THINK about that.

COLLEGE BOUND?

This was just sent to me by a friend who lives in Panama. For those readers who are trying to decide which college to send their children to, you might like to check out this woman, if you haven’t already seen it before. The truth she speaks is frightening, to say the least. Thanks, Klaus.

Read THE PRINCE (NiccolòMachiavelli), once when you are 18; a second time when you are 45; and lastly when you are 65. If this formula is followed, you will find that you have read three different books.

The basic meaning is that you will learn new things every time you read THE PRINCE.

Here is a great quote that seems to have been overlooked by the people who voted for Obama, the first time around. Please notice, I do not refer to him as President any longer. After the debacle in Libya, I refuse to call him Mr. President – let alone, Commander-in-Chief.

Obama is a coward and a ruse. I warned about him four years ago.

But instead of me stating the obvious again, I offer the following, from THE PRINCE.

“They who from a private station become Princes by mere good fortune, do so with little trouble, but have much trouble to maintain themselves. They meet with no hindrance on their way, being carried as it were on wings to their destination, but all their difficulties overtake them when they alight. Of this class are those on whom States are conferred either in return for money, or through the favour of him who confers them; as it happened to many in the Greek cities of Ionia and the Hellspont to be made Princes by Darius, that they might hold these cities for his security and glory; and as happened in the case of those Emperors who, from privacy, attained the Imperial dignity by corrupting the army.”

SOURCE: THE PRINCE, Chapter VII, Of New Princedoms Acquired By The Aid Of Others And By Good Fortune (First Paragraph)

For those who care to learn a little history, I would suggest that each and every person read this timeless book – at least once. It will turn your life around with its precise description of how the human mind really works.

And please remember, the word Machiavellian is used in a derogatory sense, by those who completely misunderstand its purpose.

All that Machiavelli was doing was describing the nature of Princes. He was not advising/suggesting what, or what not, to do. He was simply describing human nature – and how certain situations would produce certain results.

The final sentence, “attained the Imperial dignity by corrupting the army” is of utmost importance, when this is read with respect to what Obama has just done.

If you do nothing else today, please read the article below. It should frighten the living daylights out of you. Thanks for forwarding this to me, David.

If you are still considering voting for Obama, after this TOTAL LIE revolving around Libya, then I feel very sorry for you.

Ignorance can be cured; not so, stupidity.

“Don’t blame the elected; in every instance, it is the electors that are to be held responsible.”

I cannot express, in words, how disappointed – and ashamed – I am of the office of the American Presidency – at this point in our history.

MY MENTOR

At times, I have referred to my mentor – the one who has been giving me tips/information/support – ever since I ran for Congress in 2004.

Some readers have suggested that he doesn’t really exist. Let me assure you that he does. I would have never made the showing I did in the 2004 Washington State Primary had he not been instrumental in the way I ran my campaign – albeit, completely behind the scenes.

But, with that aside, I would also like to point out, most people have “insiders” that give both information/gossip/rumors to “friends of the cause.”

Below is an interview that, if taken seriously, will scare you even more than the one above.

The reason for giving these 3 sites is to show the reader that my newsletters are not something that is conjured up. These are not my words. They are words of others – that verify a lot of what I have been trying to tell readers for the last four years.

Anyone who takes their lives seriously had better wake up.

As stated in previous newsletters, I am not a Romney supporter. But I would rather have him – than Obama.

And THAT is precisely the choice we have on November 6th.

I urge all readers who have written to me saying they would “sit this one out” or would “rather vote for Gary Johnson, just to teach the GOP a lesson” – if you still think this way, then your action is tantamount to voting for Obama.

Once again, the Liberal media played right into the hands of the Democrats – with their fear tactics in full force.

There was another phrase that the Liberal media played up to the hilt:

“A vote for Goldwater was a vote for war.”

After Goldwater was defeated in a landslide – and we became engulfed in the Vietnam War under the Johnson administration – the Conservative refrain went something like this:

“The Democrats were right after all. They said if I voted for Goldwater that we would be at war in Vietnam. Well, I voted for Goldwater – and damned if we didn’t go to war in Vietnam.”

THE OCTOBER SURPRISE – IN NOVEMBER

There will be an interim “major announcement” between now and election day, but the big one will come in November. I suspect that it will have something to do with Syria or Libya. But, at this point, Iran seems to be the “playing card” that will be the next one up. Anybody who believes Iran at this point, is simply not in touch with reality.

I am afraid that the real October surprise is getting set to be sprung on November 3rd – due to the fact of the gullible public, their combined dumbed-down mentality and their penchant for a memory span of about 48 hours – and thus, will be the deciding vote getter.

You only need to view this latest clip, sent to me by a good friend and reader. Thanks Gerrit.

THE LOWDOWN

Caveat: I have been sitting on this story for about two weeks – and still can’t believe it myself. This whole “conspiracy theory” was passed on to me by my political mentor who says these whispers are all over Washington – but nobody has “the tenacity to even utter a word as to what is really going on.”

With that in mind, please read what I am about to relate with an open mind – and a hard bit of skepticism. I will try to present the conversation as well as I can remember it.

There have been rumors galore about the “possibility” of President Obama having a secret, homosexual past. Whether he still “participates” or not is not the point at this juncture.

What seems to be an extraordinarily well-orchestrated cover-up by everyone in the White House, rumors are rife that Ambassador Christopher Stevens was PURPOSELY set up by Obama, to conceal a certain “sexual liaison” between the president and Ambassador Stevens, that took place some years ago. Or, if there was nothing between them personally, then they were well aware of each other’s homosexual proclivities. These stories have been all over the Internet – so nothing new, so far.

There have been numerous rumors about a certain Low Down club in Chicago, that catered to well-to-do black men. It is again rumored that Obama had a short “engagement” with Ambassador Stevens at this establishment – or that they knew of their sexual “preferences.” This, too, is not new.

It is further rumored that Ambassador Stevens had been so angered by his constant requests for more security, that he threatened to reveal the “issue with the press” unless things got better in Libya.

Again – rumor – has it that Obama’s “inner-inner” circle got wind of this and decided to let Ambassador Stevens “hang out to dry.”

One can only imagine how this would affect the November election – let alone the actual office of the president itself.

It is for the protection – and WORLDWIDE reputation of the office of the president of the United States of America – that everyone seems to be on board together – with the continual denials, compounded with Hillary Clinton taking the blame – with the hopes of trying to divert attention away from the presidency itself.

To cover their tracks, the administration first put forth the false statements that the “anti-Islamic” film was to blame.

Then, when that did not hold up, the now combined retraction/restatement that it was a terrorist plot, are seen as an all-out, gigantic cover-up to actually save the office of the president from international humiliation and condemnation – the likes of which would take decades to repair.

At this point, I have to interject, that Ambassador Stevens has, by all accounts, been seen as one of the best, and highly regarded ambassadors that America had in the Middle East, having lived there for years – and actually being fluent in the language. In short, he loved the people and the country he was serving.

This would only add insult to injury. First, the reputation of the president – and then to that of the ambassador.

I have been trying to piece this rumor together – but I keep coming up with the question – What really happened?

In all honesty, at this point, my mentor did not have an answer. But he did say that he has never seen anything like this in his entire career of politics.

“Lips are not sealed – they are sewn shut.”

When I kept saying, “You can’t be serious,” he said the following:

“Remember, when Clinton got caught lying to Congress? He was actually IMPEACHED for doing so. Yet, the Liberal press tried to make it sound like he was impeached for getting a blowjob from Monica Lewinski. Nothing could have been further from the truth. But the Media succeeded, for the most part, in making it look like Clinton was being punished for his sexual dalliance with another woman.

Many people, to this day, are unaware that Clinton was actually IMPEACHED. Younger college students simply do not believe this to even be true. They just don’t know. They are THAT dumbed down.

When the impeachment vote was taken – and Clinton was actually impeached – there was another vote needed to remove him from office. Both Houses were pressed, by the Democratic Machine, not to remove Clinton – or else there would be hell to pay in the future. The country could not go through such a disgrace to the office of the president. The full Congress backed down.”

But I still was not convinced that they would go this far to cover up something of such magnitude.

“Remember Vince Foster?” came his usual, succinct reply. “How the hell do you commit suicide by shooting yourself in the back of your head? The press covered that one up, too.”

I still was not convinced that our “leaders” would go this far to cover up something so criminal as this.

“Have you been watching the generals and their body language? How about the White House press conferences? Everybody is walking on eggshells. Something big is in the wind – to take public attention off of this whole affair.”

I still was not convinced. Then he hit me between the eyes.

“OK, Larry. Then explain to me why, when Ron Brown (Commerce Secretary under Bill Clinton) said that, if an indictment was brought against him for illegal campaign contributions, that he was not going to go to prison by himself. Days later, his plane crashed into a mountainside in Bosnia and he, along with everybody else, was killed.

“The Clinton administration immediately came out and said it was due to bad weather. But the weather on that day was, in fact, perfectly clear. Then they started a complete line of lies to cover for their first lie.

“And don’t you remember that video clip of Clinton, walking out of the funeral for Ron Brown, carry a Bible, laughing with his buddies, but as soon as he saw the camera filming him, he put on a mournful face and pretended to be sad?”

Yes, I had to admit that I saw that.

“Well, did you know that the air-traffic controller in Bosnia was found a day later, hanging in the men’s restroom by his own belt?”

I also remembered that but it got scant news coverage – again the media covering for Clinton.

“So, are you still going to tell me that this kind of thing doesn’t happen?” He went on. “Vince Foster, a suicide. The man in the control tower, a suicide.

“What about Hershel Friday and Ed Willey. They died in plane crashes – and they were both Clinton fundraisers, too.

“After Ron Brown was killed, a co-worker named Barbara Wise also died shortly thereafter – but the reason has never been verified as to the cause of death.

“There was a lot of other people to die, who were members of the Clinton administration, but I can’t remember them all.

“At least have the balls to put this story out, if for nothing else, to bring possible light to this horrible situation. You always say that the media should print everything that it knows and let We the People make up our minds. Let’s see what kind of courage you really have.”

So, there I stood, feeling like a fool. I was challenged – two weeks ago – to print this information. But I backed down, in favor of trying to let the whole story play itself out.

However, in retrospect, it looks like another gigantic cover-up. With that in mind, I decided to tell this story – in hopes that it will bring some light to a seemingly unending situation.

I have relayed this conversation with extreme trepidation. I know it sounds like a conspiracy to end all conspiracies – but my friend has rarely been wrong with his information – so I have put this out for you, the readers, to at least think about this possibility.

And one other fact that might throw some questionable concepts to the cover-up that seems to be going on with regard to this “Libyan Incident.”

Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama all had their law licenses taken from them.

Bill Clinton for his lying to Congress, Barack and Michelle Obama for not wanting to reveal “sensitive” information regarding both of their past histories.

People simply do not give up their LAW LICENSE on the spur of the moment. To relinquish your right to prictice law – after spending years getting that designation – is not done lightly.

All three had something very sinister that they did not want ANYBODY to find out about.

And now, we are supposed to trust this same group with the presidency of the United States of America?

As another prediction, look for Bill Clinton’s license to practice law to be reinstated in the near future.

I realize the chances I am taking for saying these things. And I am fully aware of the wrath that the simple disclosure of this scenario will incur.

However, it seems that these points have to be, at least, considered – when all these past “murky circumstances” surrounding Obama and Clinton are put in proper perspective.

If any reader has information regarding this outrageous concept, please write your findings in the American Telegraph Blog. Please try to verify your finding as much as possible.

In my last American Telegraph I predicted that Romney would be declared the loser by the Liberal media.

I was wrong on that call. But, please bear in mind, that a lot of individual Liberal pundits were saying that Obama actually won – Juan Williams being one of them. There were others on MSNBC who called Obama the winner, too.

If they say Obama was the winner on that one, you can only hazard a guess as to what they would say had he actually won.

But what we all should be aware of were the EXCUSES that came out of the mouths of the Liberal media.

Please remember, we are in the era of cry-babies, excuse-makers (it is still Bush’s fault) and on and on.

As for the Biden/Ryan debate many of the Liberal media were proclaiming Biden the “clear and distinct” winner.

The point I am trying to make here is that the Liberal media actually does not KNOW what a debate really is.

You need to have SUBSTANCE – not just form.

Having a minor degree in communications to go along with my BA in poly sci, taught me a lot of things about argumentation and debate.

But these types of classes are no longer taught in our public schools – for the stated purpose of dumbing down the populace onpurpose. So, therefore, the new media does not know how to “rate a debate.”

The main problem with Liberals is that they tend to let passion override reason.

That thrill up Chris Matthews’ leg is a perfect example. The “gate-mouth smile” of Jumpin’ Joe Biden is another example. I wrote earlier about the gate-mouth smile syndrome among professional charlatans.

Some people took me to task, trying to imply that I was only referring to Obama – and his famous smile – for the “fact” that it stands out “because he is black.”

The last time I checked, Joe Biden is white. And so is Bill Clinton.

But, then again, when all else fails, the Liberal “thinker” can always fall back on race.

You cannot deny all three have that “gate-mouth” smile – that all connivers seem to be endowed with.

So we have an uneducated Liberal press (and general public) that salivates at a “smooth” talker. A groovy guy. A cool dude.

“There is a sucker born every minute.” P.T. Barnum

Thus, the purpose of this Special Edition American Telegraph is to alert readers of the upcoming debate tonight.

Obama WILL WIN this debate – and climb in the polls by tomorrow – unless Romney pulls out another astounding debate performance like he did on the first one. I seriously doubt that this will happen.

And remember, Romney won on all points of SUBSTANCE and did nicely on STYLE, too boot.

But he was STILL panned by many Liberal media “experts.”

I used to judge speech and debate contests in college. Romney AND Ryan won both of the debates – hands down.

But, then again, I have been trained in what to look for – and how to judge accordingly – unlike the Liberal media – and the general public.

So, be on guard tonight, with this debate. Candy Crowley will try to make it appear that she is “neutral” when, in fact, she is in the Obama camp.

Think I am wrong? All we have to do is ask who she is voting for.

Another fact to bear in mind. Romney and Ryan got hammered for “talking too long” in there debates – yet, BOTH Obama and Biden had the higher count in total time speaking.

So, as predicted in my last newsletter – Romney and Ryan – will be portrayed as the losers – even if they actually win.

And, as a historical note, this “starry-eyed fixation” on style over substance is not new to the Liberal media.

The classic example is the Kennedy/Nixon debate. Kennedy looked sharp, smart and “cool.”

Nixon looked “dark” and disheveled.

Yet, historians now agree, that Nixon actually won the debate on SUBSTANCE.

And let’s not forget, John Kennedy came from the 1% and was a multimillionaire.

Nixon was neither.

Kennedy was also a womanizer and “groovy” to watch

Nixon was a plodder and drab by comparison.

But, the most interesting part of that 1960 election – was the 11th hour phone call – to Mayor Richard Daley from John Kennedy – personally asking for help in gathering “any kind of votes” he could get his hands on.

No, I am not talking about the GOP. I am referring to the Democrats – and their end-run play.

I have refrained from any comments on the first presidential debate (which Romney obviously won with grace and dignity) until this morning’s unemployment report came out.

Bear ONE simple fact in mind. The Obama Administration is the one who actually ALLOWS the numbers to be presented in THEIR favor. This will be shown in a VERY SIMPLE conversation in a minute.

But first, let’s all take a deep breath.

First off, I was astounded at how quickly the GOP started patting themselves on the back, throwing high-fives all around and congratulating themselves on a well-deserved VICTORY.

Nothing could be further from the ACTUAL truth. The game has JUST BEGUN. We have not even scratched the proverbial surface yet.

The GOP still does not realize the SIZE and SCOPE of what they are up against.

Celebrate? Celebrate what? Now is the time to BUCKLE DOWN. It is NOT the time to crank open the champagne.

Why not?

Because the Mass Media has gone “all in.” For those of you who do not watch MSMBC or CNN, the debunking of the Romney debate “victory” has started in full force. And people are already buying into it.

Bear in mind, the Chicago MOB Mentality:

“Feed the people everything that makes us look good. The truth, the lies – anything that is in our favor – print it. Anything that makes us look bad, don’t print it. Suppress it. Keep it completely out of the papers.”

And the Mass Media is following in lock-step. They HAVE to – or else legs get broken – and people get killed. Witness, the son of a prominent politician in Mexico, just this morning, being murdered.

Does FAST AND FURIOUS come to anybody’s mind? And if you don’t think that the Chicago Mob and the Mexican Mob are not connected – then I have a bridge to Hell that I want to sell you.

If you can’t draw any parallels to these two groups – then STOP READING right now. You are a lost cause.

If you think this is another conspiracy theory of mine, then consider this little animated conversation, and then – hopefully – you will start to see what I mean. Credit goes to Big Bob for sending in this dialog:

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.

ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It’s 9%.

COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?

ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%.

COSTELLO: You just said 9%.

ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.

COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.

ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%.

COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s 16% unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, that’s 9%.

COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 9% or 16%?

ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.

COSTELLO: IF you are out of work, you are unemployed!

ABBOTT: No, Obama said you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the
unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!

ABBOTT: No, you missed his point.

COSTELLO: What point?

ABBOTT: Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those
who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.

COSTELLO: To whom?

ABBOTT: The unemployed.

COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who
are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer
in the ranks of the unemployed.

COSTELLO: So, if you’re off the unemployment roles that would count as
less unemployment?

ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?

ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That’s how Obama gets it to 9%.
Otherwise it would be 16%. He doesn’t want you to read about 16%
unemployment.

COSTELLO: That would be tough on his reelection.

ABBOTT: Absolutely.

COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two
ways to bring down the unemployment number?

ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.

COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

ABBOTT: Correct.

COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?

ABBOTT: Bingo.

COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and theeasier of the two is to have Obama’s supporters stop looking for work.

ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like the Obama Economy Czar.

COSTELLO: I don’t even know what the hell I just said!

ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like Obama.

And THAT, my friends, is the mental state of this current administration – and ALL those gullible enough to vote for Obama.

A CHEAT SHEET?

Another reader, Steve T, who lives in Sacramento, put a real thought into my head the other day. Try to follow his line of reasoning. It makes PERFECT sense.

He ventured forth a terrific idea – one that falls into what was just said above.

Steve surmised:

“Since Obama is lost without a yelling and screaming crowd, and since no tele-prompters are allowed, that puts the president in a real bind, when it comes to being able to hold his own in a debate.

“So, what is to stop the Mass Media from giving Obama the questions – or at least a hint of what the questions will be like – for the NEXT TWO debates? Who would know the difference? Nobody.

“Obama would redeem himself, the stupid American public would, once again, vote for an illegitimate president and we would be screwed for FOUR MORE YEARS.”

I asked him about the possibility of getting caught, or someone leaking the cribbing to the press.

He laughed. “To the PRESS? They are in the tank for Obama. It is the only way Obama can win. He has to cheat. He doesn’t have any other choice. The guy is a fake and a fraud. THAT is precisely how he got to the presidency. If the Mass Media helped to NOTVET him in the first place – how hard do you think it would be for them to pass off the questions for the next debates. Ever heard of insider trading?”

I asked Steve, as to what happens if they really do get caught? It would be a catastrophe for the Chicago Mob, the Mass Media, and the Administration. It is too big of a gamble.

Steve looked at me with an incredulous grinned. “How many days are left before the election? So what, if Obama gets caught? By then, the election will be over, Obama is back in the White House – and everything is just fine.”

I had to give him credit. I had not thought of such a scenario. Even in my distorted, conspiracy-muddled mind, I could not put that one together.

Yet, now I find it VERY interesting that NOT ONE Conservative pundit has even broached this very same idea.

When you think about it, the whole concept is very workable. After all, where are Obama’s college transcripts, his FULL tax returns, the REAL reason he “gave up” his license to practice law – his real associations and past mentors, etc? The Mass Media simply hid them. Everybody is wondering when, WE THE PEOPLE, will get the real low down on Obama

Is this another conspiracy?

No, just the plain truth – in broad daylight, for everyone to see – if they care to actually look.

THE BIDEN TRAP

Everybody is salivating at the prospect of Paul Ryan debating Joe Biden.

They shouldn’t be.

Biden is as slippery as a piece of tofu trying to be picked up with a pair of chopsticks.

If Ryan is not VERY careful with his approach, he will lead with his chin – and get sucker-punched by the more crafty Jumpin’ Joe Biden.

By this, I mean that Ryan has a tendency to get deep into the numbers, then, at times, he starts to stumble. Time for Joe to “Jump” in.

Ryan will, at times, get frustrated with his opponent’s ignorance. Time for Joe to “Jump” in.

If Ryan is not EXTREMELY careful, he will give Jumpin’ Joe the opening he is looking for. And Joe will take full advantage.

Just picture “Uncle” Joe, as many people refer to him, as he chastises Paul Ryan:

“Now, I understand, Congressman Rayn, you do not have the experience that I have in these matters, having served in the SENATE for as long as I have, but I will not hold your inexperience, nor your impatience against you. That is to be expected.”

DONE DEAL. Ryan is dead in the water.

THEN, the mantra of the Mass Media will be:

“Ryan looked like a schoolboy being chastised by the school master. He looked like the rank amateur that he obviously is.”

Then, the clincher that the Mass Media will embed into every listener’s mind:

“Do you really want a novice such as Paul Ryan just a HEARTBEAT awayfrom the presidency?”

I say this with years of experience teaching argumentation and debate in college. It is a method of “drawing in your opponent” and then clubbing him to death.

One reader very aptly put it this way:

“Don’t force your opponent into a trap – gently lead him.”

It is with high trepidation that I will view, not only the Ryan/Biden debate – but the other two presidential debates.

In football, you often hear the announcer say:

“Well, there is still 10 minutes left in the game. That is a lot of time. Anything can happen.”

If that is true, then 30 days left in this campaign is an ETERNITY.

That’s it for now.

Keep thinking positive – and never give up. But don’t even think this election is in the bag. It’s not.

I am sure that every person reading this newsletter has been taken for a ride by some sort of fantastic article or, piece of information, that has been “verified” by Snoops or some other bogus “authority.”

So, I was very skeptical when I got a call a few weeks ago from one of my most trusted “sources” who assured me, in no uncertain terms, that “this is the truth.”

However, I was not convinced enough to write it in the American Telegraph – simply because it was too much of a stretch for even me to consider. Besides that, I had a very difficult time actually verifying it to be true.

But having just read the Monday edition of Investor’s Business Daily, October 1, 2012, page A17, I was shocked to actually read what my source had told me in mid-September. My full apologies go out to him for not printing his information at the time. What a scoop that would have been. I will never doubt his word again.

In the article, written by Mark Steyn, he states that, “The Benghazi slaughter was not a spontaneous movie review that got a little out of hand but a catastrophic security breach and humiliating fiasco for the U.S.”

NO. That is not the news that shocked me. What follows IS what blew me out – and was related to me by my source in exactly the same manner – and detail.

“Even more extraordinary, on Sept. 14, fewer that two dozen inbred, illiterate goatherds pulled off the biggest single destruction of U.S. airpower since the 1968 Tet Offensive, invading Camp Bastion (an unfortunate choice of name) in Afghanistan, killing Lt. Col Christopher Raible, and blowing up a squadron of Harriers.

Mr. Styne goes on to say, “And, even though it was the third international humiliation for the U.S. in as many days, it didn’t even make the papers.”

Did you just digest what I wrote? Does it not shock you to the core of your being? Well, it did me.

Please note – it didn’t even make the papers. I did find it, finally, on the Marine Corps News website and also on www.defpro.news – but not ONE newspaper even took the time to print the story.

SO, WHAT IS THE POINT?

Although it was on the Internet – no newspaper in the ENTIRE COUNTRY carried the story.

This is simply incredible. I now wonder why it took this long for it to finally make it to IBD. In short, the story could not be verified – thorough other PRINT MEDIA sources.

So, in reality – and in WE THE PEOPLE’S social consciousness – this attack DID NOT HAPPEN.

Is there anybody who saw this news in their local newspaper? Anyone see it in the New York Times? How about TIME or NEWSWEEK magazines?

Well then, what about on TELEVISION?

The answer is NO to all of the above.

BUT, we did see Obama on THE VIEW and LETTERMAN.

Again, this type of cover-up is simply incredible. What kind of Government Conspiracy are WE THE PEOPLE calmly putting up with?

I have been accused of being a conspiracy nut in the past. All well and good. It comes with the territory.

But, does this kind of SELECTIVE MASS-MEDIA COVERAGE not even outrage anybody – except me?

If we pretend that the killing of our service men and women – not to mention the destruction of military aircraft that reportedly cost over $20,000,000 EACH – does not merit FRONT PAGE NEWS – then we are a lot farther down the path to TOTALITARIANISM than I first suspected.

All the people who, in good faith, called me a conspiracy kook, had better sit up, pull their collective heads out of their south end – and do it pronto.

If this kind of MAIN-STREAM MASS MEDIA does not piss each and every person off – then we are in extremely deep trouble.

And if the Obama Administration is allowed to continue to pull this kind of political bovine excreta, then we have only ourselves to blame.

If anyone still doubts what is going on in this country – and if anybody still votes for this so-called president that now infests WE THE PEOPLE’S House – then shame on you.

If that is the case, then a pox on all your houses.

If this uber-maniac is re-elected, it only leaves me shuddering to think of what he really meant when he told the Russian Prime Minister Medvedev to, “Tell Vladmir that, after the election, I will be more flexible.”

My question is, more flexible to do what?

And, since when does our so-called president call the president of Communist Russia by his first name?

What in the hell is going on here?

As I write, there are protests in Russia about Putin’s growing power. For crying out loud, the son-of-a-bitch just put girls into prison for singing protest songs. How many times they have been beaten, tortured and raped is anybody’s guess.

Is anyone even listening anymore?

Where is the REAL OUTRAGE?

We all might be herded into boxcars before we even realize what is happening.

Please remember, the Austrians – as smart as they were noted as being – welcomed Adolph Hitler with open arms – as did the “intelligent” German populace. And Adolph Hitler ascended to power through the Democratic Process.

THE ESSENCE OF TEACHING

Albert Einstein once remarked that, “A good teacher is one who can make a difficult subject easy for his students to understand.”

Having taught for over a quarter century – in Japan, China and as part-time educational advisor in Panama – I am always surprised at how easy it is to teach – if you take your time, present the contents of your subject in a logical manner – and then entertain any questions that the students might have.

The concept of asking questions, of debate and dialog, of freedom of speech have led to some of the best teaching experiences that I have ever had. Every year, students in Japan would literally line up outside my door, trying to get in to register for the coming academic year. It was humbling to see so many young kids wanting to actually learn – not just be taught to.

Out of my teaching career, I enjoyed it so much that I did not miss one class of teaching for any reason whatsoever. It is a record that I am extremely proud of – and can be verified to this very day.

In the meantime, I am still in contact with a number of my students and enjoy corresponding with them all the time. It is a very satisfying feeling to know that so many past students still wish to keep in touch. That is my most cherished memory of my teaching career.

“All good teachers get paid in smiles.”

I say all this not to pat myself on the back. Far from it. All good teachers have the same feeling of duty, dedication – and responsibility to their students.

However, my purpose is much deeper this time around.

For the last three issues of The American Telegraph, I have tried to lay out a scenario that most people are too afraid to even speak about.

I first laid out my position, then followed by citing stated facts by reputable sources.

In this concluding issue, entitled THE FINAL SOLUTION, I will allow the following video to make my closing argument. It is said that a picture is worth a 1,000 words. I believe this video pays tribute to that statement.

I thank my brother, David Klepinger, for sending me this video to complete this final segment.

Every Democrat, Republican, Independent – in essence, all Good Americans – should take heed as to what is going on right in front of our very faces. Wake up. Don’t do as the Austrians did with their Democracy on the eve of World War II.

I must admit, I took a lot of heat from my last publication. But, I confess, I had prior information and much substantial research, but chose not to include it in my last newsletter. I actually wanted to see how readers would react by me, “just running off at the mouth.” They call that technique “baiting” in debate jargon.

And react, they did. Some had the courage to write their feelings in the Blog Section. Good for them.

Yet others, still persist to write scathing remarks and belittling commentary in private emails. That is fine with me, for it shows the true colors of the ignorant cowards that they are. Out in the open is fine. Behind the cloak of secrecy is not my method of operating. However, when I consider the source, I understand completely.

Some raged on that I was a “neo-con, right wing whacko.” I still have not figured out what that means but I like the ring it has. Others rambled on about how I was a “latent Muso-phobic asshole.” Actually, that was my favorite one – because I had never heard that term before. But you get the point.

Now, for my confession. A day before I wrote my newsletter, I had read an article entitled, The Mansourian Candidate, in the Tuesday, September 25, 2012, edition of the Investor’s Business Daily – one of the most highly regarded business publications in the industry.

In a nutshell, the article referred to, “Dr. Khalid Abdul-Iah Tariqal–Mansour, born Donald Warden, an Israeli-hating Islamist supporter and top advisor to radical Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, and a college student.

“That college student, a young Obama, found al-Mansour’s favor and would one day be president as Israel was abandoned by America and the Middle East burst into flames amid a sea of presidential apologies, including one for our freedom of speech.”

The article goes on to tell how Obama was funded, protected by Islamic fundamentalists, groomed by the anti-Israeli, academic establishment, tutored in the hatred and bigoted nature of those who hate the Jews for all reasons, and then finally led to the presidency – WITH NO VETTING from the Main-stream Media whatsoever.

It is ironic to learn from this same article that al–Mansour was also the “mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his associate, Bobby Seale.”

After reading this article, it was plain to see why the Main-stream Media did not want this information to get out.

“Jackals dine among their own.” Confucius

It is common knowledge that Muslims have no compunction about lying – if they can justify it as a way to further the “peaceful religion” of Islam. That phrase “peaceful religion” is a lie in itself.

And this was my point in my last edition – in which many “self-proclaimed Liberal Thinkers (an oxymoron if there ever was one) took it upon themselves to rant and rave about how wrong I was in saying what I said – but with NO evidence to back up their tirade. Just simple, infantile whining.

I believe it was Winston Churchill that once stated, “Liberals are creatures of emotion: They rarely employ logic; never common sense.”

It is with this type of people – those who really have NO IDEA what they are talking about – but are extremely good talkers just the same – who have usurped our system of government – and are bound and determined to bring America, as we know it, down to her knees.

Here we have a President who lies on a continual basis – the attack on our Libyan Embassy being the most recent, and egregious, example thus far – yet the Main-stream Media does absolutely nothing to call him on it.

If you recall, in a previous edition, I stated, emphatically, that the assult was a coordinated, well-planned attack – and anybody who thought otherwise was just, plain stupid. I took a lot of gas for that comment, too.

Now, almost three weeks later, the administration is conceding the fact that is was a terrorist attack – yet still refuses to use those exact same terms.

Yet, these GRAND LIES just keep coming with impunity – never checked – just regurgitated by the traitorous, liberal press that we are currently shackled with.

ALL IN

The grander the lie, the more times it is spewed forth – and not rebutted – the stronger it becomes.

And that is my continuing point in this newsletter.

Almost a year ago I predicted that for the GOP to rely solely on the economy was a huge mistake. I said that the economy will start to rebound by October/November of 2012 – just in time for the presidential election.

I also said that gas would be back to around the $3.20 level.

But here is the rub.

All the information coming out on the economy seems to prove my point. But what if these are just MORE LIES?

What if the economy is NOT turning around?

What if everything the Main-stream Media is pumping out are TOTAL LIES?

In Texan Hold ’em, this is referred to as, “All in.”

The administration, in full concert with the Main-stream Media, are working overtime to churn out as many lies, distractions, distortions – and just plain bovine excreta – to confuse, confound and ultimately deflate – the populace to just give up and learn to “accept it.”

Now, the polls are showing Obama in the lead in ALL swing states. This has been news for a number of days, and has, rightly so, been thrown into doubt.

But with the ignorant populace prancing around, talking as though they are actually informed – and JUST KNOW what is going on – it is going to be extremely difficult to convince these ignorant people NOT to vote for Obama.

The video below shows just how STUPID Americans really are – but yet ACTas though they “know it all.”

Please note, very few people say, “I don’t know.”

Why? Because, in our current system of Politically Correct uneducation, our “children” are taught that everybody is a winner, they are all AWESOME, they have no faults, say anything and it is OK – because it is not nice to beJUDGMENTAL.

And please notice, this ignorance is not confined to any race – nor gender. Most Americans, nowadays, are really, really stupid.

THE SILENT MAJORITY

Recently, I have been talking with a lot of people and I am getting an undercurrent, a sense if you will, that there is a silent movement going on.

More and more people, when asked, IN PUBLIC, who are you going to vote for, automatically say, “Obama,” so as not to have to deal with the “racist” label that liberals love to attach to everybody they disagree with.

But I am finding, more and more, people who confide in me that they “just say that” to avoid trouble.

Greater amounts of people are emphatically – yet secretly – saying they will vote for Romney – “whether they like him or not.”

Again, I implore all readers, if you love America – and wish to preserve the freedoms that were GIVEN TO US by our Founding Fathers – and protected with the blood and sacrifices of generations of Americans before us – then put aside your petty differences – and vote for Mitt Romney.

One last thought to consider. Islam is, in reality, not a religion – but a way of life.

But not WE THE PEOPLE’S way of life.

It is still up to US to make the difference.

Until next time, keep thinking positive, keep learning – and never give up.

I have given this Special Edition a lot of thought. I am under no illusion that I will not be pilloried for what I am going to write. But more and more people are saying this in private – but will, under no circumstances, admit to what I am about to say in public – for fear of being branded a nut, a conspiracy theorist – or just plain out to crazy.

I am going to present a scenario that should at least get people thinking. Give this concept a thought – and see if it is at least plausable.

It is put forth to test your “Beyond the Boundaries” trend of thinking.

And, if you write this concept off as some loony fantasy, then that means you are not very well-adept at thinking “outside the box.”

As Rhett Butler once said:

“Frankly, Scarlet, I don’t give a damn.”

THE GRAND LIE

I have been wrestling with a lot of inner feelings recently, with respect to the upcoming U.S. presidential election – and the outbreak of coordinated violence throughout the Middle East.

What has been bothering me is the complete and all-consuming GRAND LIE that many Americans seem to be accepting as fact.

Of course, we all know the concept of telling a lie long enough – and it will be believed.

The concept of lying, with regard to Islam – if it is to the furtherance of the Islamic “religion of peace” – seems to be a fairly well-accepted concept among Islamic theologians.

It also seems that, in Islam, if you cannot be converted to the Islamic religion, then you are considered an infidel.

According to what I have read, if you do not become a believer of the Islamic faith, then you are targeted by that faith with a number of different “punishments” including higher tax rates, denial of basic human rights – and ultimately, death.

The GRAND LIE is one of the most persuasive tools that the Islamic faith has at its disposal. And with whom they associate with – to accomplish their stated desire of a one-world Islamic faith – makes no difference whatsoever.

THE ENFORCERS

Enter, the Enforcers. The Chicago Mob has its links back to BEFORE Al Capone. Once this man gained control through graft, murder, LIES and intrigue – he took over all of Chicago’s Mafia. It is fairly well documented that Capone used all connections – including black Americans – to do his dirty work. He had no compunctions about using poor, inner-city blacks, to sell drugs to “their own kind.” And then there was the “black prostitution” that they were very subtly into, but kept it very well concealed.

Capone was the first of the criminal “community organizers” and he did it with aplomb.

After gaining control of Chicago, he reached out and finally established his Western Headquarters – Las Vegas, Nevada. Harry Reid is in power in this pivotal swing state.

The web of contraband that travelled across the United States in Capone trucks (driven by union organizers, thugs and just plain crooks) delivered the “goods” to all points East – and West.

The Chicago Mob grew out of an organization that, at first, did not sell drugs, insisted on not hitting families – and especially children – and slowly devolved into a criminal organization in which anything, and everything, was permitted – as long as it made money – and solidified power in the process.

GEORGE SOROS

We all know about the TRIAD of uber-rich men that support Obama.

Warren Buffett

Bill Gates

George Soros

Of the first two, we know a lot about.

But George Soros is a man of much distinction – all in the negative – yet, the Mass Media has NEVER played this information for the public to actually see.

It has been reported that Soros was the supreme instigator, that almost brought down the whole financial system of Great Britain.

It is also reported that George Soros is a persona non grata in France. If he ever sets foot into that country again, he will be placed immediately under arrest. Initially, he was convicted of a number of crimes – but paid the French Government an astronomical amount of money not to be imprisoned. He paid the ransom – and agreed never to return to France again.

When you think about this man – in conjunction with all the other assorted criminals that Barack Obama has surrounding his administration, both inside and outside – then you start to get the picture of how evil this cabal really is.

THE MIDDLE EAST

I was actually waiting for Obama to finally meet with the Israeli Prime Minister while he was here in America – but I was wrong. Obama deliberately ignored him – and with very good reason.

Now, this is where the story starts to tug at your mental logic strings.

Try to picture this:

The Middle East is NOT out of control. We are only being led to believe that is the case. Again, the Mass Media is pouring on this false sense of what is really happeneing.

Then we have the Libyan Ambassador and three other Americans assassinated – on September 11, 2012 – and ABSOLUTELY nothing is done about it.

The United Nation’s Ambassador, Susan Rice went on EVERY TV show and adamantly – and arrogantly – lied, TIME AND TIME AGAIN, that it was not a coordinated attack.

“I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.”

Only the biggest of naive fools could believe what Susan Rice said. But she stuck to the story – until finally evidence that was so overwhelming to the contrary had the Administration in retreat – but they STILL shuffled around the truth, and would not admit categorically that it had been planned.

So, now we are all believing that the Middle East is burning. It is NOT burning.

This has ALL BEEN PLANNED.

Yes, I know, that sounds nuts. But give this scenario just a little time to fester – and you will see where I am going with this.

Recall, the Arab Spring. The bowing, the apologies, the condescension directed toward America by our own “president.”

I see this now, not as an APOLOGY TOUR – but a TOUR OF REASSURANCE – that the concept of an Islamic takeover of the United States in well at hand.

Yes, I can hear the screams now. Larry, you are nuts!

But, please bear with me.

There are numerous tapes – all over the Internet – about Obama himself, proclaiming to be a Muslim. He has said that on numerous occasions.

Obama has refused to take part in National Prayer Day – even though he proclaims to be a Christian. This proclamation is an Islamic lie – for the furtherance of the “religion of peace.”

Obama – along with the Democratic Party – in their initial FULL denunciation of both God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel – is simply another piece of the puzzle.

Obama HATES Israel. If this is not true, then why did he refuse to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu?

Is this any way to treat our best ally in the Middle East? With an ally like Obama, who needs enemies?

No, my friends, we have all been duped – time and again – with the GRAND LIE.

Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim – in sheep’s clothing, masquerading as a “Christian” believer. This is the epitome of the GRAND LIE – and the American public is sucking it up like new born puppies at the tits of their exhausted mother.

All of Obama is a lie. From his birth certificate, to his school papers, to his relinquishment of his law license, to the sealing of his grades – everything. The man is a living GRAND LIE.

IRAN AND ISRAEL

I was horrified when I heard what the United Nations allowed the Iranian Dictator actually say. And to this point, I must add – that from this day on – it is a world sanctioned – anti-Semitic organization, of the highest order.

Why the American delegation did not walk out on him is NOW no longer a surprise. They were instructed NOT to walk out. I am afraid that this was the signal – and that it is only a matter of time – before Israel and Iran go to war.

Yes, I predicted that this would happen over a year ago – just before the presidential election – but I did NOT foresee the connection – until just a few days ago.

Israel is being set up – and the forces of the Muslim World in the Middle East are poised to re-implement Adolph Hitler’s Final Solution – with the “blessing” of the United Nations.

THE ELECTION OF 2012

I was appalled at the Congress taking their “vacation” at such an inopportune time – until I gave it some more thought.

With Congress spread out all over America – the chance of calling them all back together – is not very good, considering they are all out on the campaign trail, once again begging for money and votes.

This leaves Obama solely at the helm of the Ship of State.

Israel knows fair-well that they have no choice. If Iran is left to acquire nuclear weapons – then Israel is doomed – as per the Iranian Dictator’s most recent United Nations proclamation.

It remains to be seen what will happen – but it will not be easy to watch – now that we have allowed this GRAND LIE to fester for so long.

BUT, there is one hope – and this is the most important part – the crux – of this Special Edition.

I want to appeal to the Evangelical Element – that I have on many occasions taken to task for various reasons.

I KNOW there are a very large portion of this group that WILL NOT vote for Romney – because his is a Mormon.

I can see their point. Many Evangelicals consider Mormonism as a cult – and an affront to Jesus Christ.

So, please allow me to render a different way of looking at things. Simply put:

Who would you rather see in the White House in January 2013 – a Mormon – or a Muslim?

If the Evangelical Element – and their tremendous voter clout – can look at this upcoming election from this standpoint – then maybe Mitt Romney still has a chance to win.

I can only hope – and pray – that good Christians of all denominations – along with Jews, Independents, Libertarians – homosexual organizations (if you think you are mistreated now, wait until Islamic rule comes to town) – and any other groups of people who are concerned with the American way of life, vote for Mitt Romney.

He is not the best candidate. He is the ONLY candidate that can turn this whole thing around.

CULTURAL WAR OF CIVILIZATION

Whether what I have just said or not resonates with readers, I really don’t care. It had to be said.

If history is any predicator to the future – then we are in some very deep water. If you look at the fall of Rome, and then look at the situation that America finds itself in – then you will understand the consequences that we face as a nation – if we continue on this path.

And, as I type, I noticed that Madonna has just said we now have a Black Muslim in the White House.

Now that is a declarative statement – to back up what I have just written. Talk about timing!

In my last email, I said that if anybody thought the attacks in the Middle East were not planned, or at least, coordinated, then they were just plain stupid.

I got a ration of garbage from readers who thought I was a “warmonger” and a “dip-shit, right-wing asshole.”

Some of the other emails were too tasteless for even me to print. But I think you get the point.

Now, after days of hand-wringing, the White House has finally admitted that the attacks were, in fact, planned.

Since the inception of The American Telegraph, I have made it a point to offer prognostications – predictions, if you will – on things that I thought would happen in the future.

It is, without exception, when a person makes a prediction – and is right – not one word of congratulations is ever rendered.

However, when a prediction goes awry, the flurry of “You stupid jerk” emails come rushing in. I guess it is just human nature. But, I have grown used to the insipid remarks and actually am amused by most of them.

“God has a sense of humor; that is why He created Liberals.”

But, the extent to which Liberal absurdism has gone these days is beyond anything that I had ever predicted. Much further than Jimmy Carter, and a lot further than Bill Clinton.

The audacity of arrogance has reached new lows with this White House – to the point that even my Liberal friends are scratching their heads.

The latest joke was when Obama actually said, “You cannot fix Washington from the inside.”

Folks, this is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

Speaking of which, he is now on the griddle for not even securing the US Embassies in the Middle East – during the observance ceremonies of September 11, 2001.

I honestly think that, in the years to come, historians will say that Barack Obama functionally insane. I am not kidding when I say this.

If George Bush had done just half of what Obama has done, the Liberal Media would be going nuts. But they are, instead, making one excuse after another – to cover for Barack Obama. How much longer this can go on is anybody’s guess.

In my humble opinion, Barack Obama is in no way, shape or form capable of being president of thet United States.

Furthermore, I believe that he is holding the office of the president illegally. And, in case you did not catch it on the mass media, more evidence has just come out that this is exactly the case.

No, I am not a birther. Just a truther.

Are We The People to believe that the current illegal administration did not even consider the turmoil that has erupted in the Middle East? Are they really THAT inept?

Awhile back, I cautioned that if the GOP concentrated solely on the economy – that was a HUGE mistake. I also predicted QE 3 – over a year ago.

Please keep an eye on gas prices. They will be around the $3.20 level, going into the November election.

With the Quantitative Easing that has now been implemented – there is no more purpose in numbering them. Mr. Bernanke has stated that he will print as much money as is needed to “right” the economy. Notice, I said PRINT. Not MINT.

Instead of QE 4, it is now, QE FOUREVER. (That is a play on words, in case you missed it).

WHAT ABOUT THE FISCAL CLIFF?

Sorry folks, but this is another red herring from the White House.

There is NO fiscal cliff. It is a game, a gimmick, a “come-on,” to get everybody stirred up. Put simply, “It ain’t gonna happen.”

Remember, the ice age coming back in the 1970s? Then it was the computer scare of 2000. And, now we have global warming – but Antarctica has just been observed with the largest amount of ice ever. Are we being played for chumps, or what?

Do you, in all good conscience, believe that the status quo would ever let a complete economic meltdown come to pass? Rest asssured, it will not happen.

What will happen is BRINKMANSHIP instead. Both sides will take this right up to the proverbial “11th hour” then come to an agreement of some kind – probably a diluted compromise that will patch things together – until the next Congressional election of 2014. Yes, my friends, we have that to look forward to. Yet, nobody is even talking about it – yet.

As for taxes, there will be a compromise – most likely much of Bush’s tax policy will be extended for at least another six months to a year. No one is talking about this, either. But, it will happen. Mark my words.

THE DEBATES

I am calling the debates right now – both in favor of Barack Obama.

Why?

Because the mass media “likes” Obama – and that is the group that will be asking the questions of Obama and Romney. It is a foregone conclusion. If anybody thinks Romney stands even an iota of a chace of “winning” the debates, you had better get your head examined.

And Paul Ryan will fare the same. He will be “out-smiled” “out-gaffed” and “out-dimwitted” by Joe “The Plumber” Biden.

In case you did not realize it, Joe Biden was chosen as the best speech giver – during BOTH of the presidential conventions. Who made that decision? Why, of course, the mass media.

Did you hear me? BOTH of the conventions. Joe Biden!

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

I’ll tell you what has been going on. Americans are now so enamoured with themselves, and their petty little lives, that they “like the dude image” on American Idol.

Everyone is dancing in the stars. People are too busy watching crap movies, mesmerized by video games – and acting as though they are playing professional sports through FANTASY FOOTBALL. Everyone is PRETENDING.

We, as a nation, are DREAMING about being something – somebody – that we are not.

We are in a perpetual state of self-delusional fantasy.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we – as a nation – are engaging in infantile “dream matches” like little children. I remember when I was a kid, I used to pretend that I was Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch, of the L.A. Rams, when we played tackle football on our neighbor’s front lawn.

But I was just a kid. Now “GROWNUPS” are doing the exact same thing. Grown men can name every player’s name, their stats, and all the other crap that goes along with this type of mass insanity.

Do I like American football? Of course I do. But I am not a complete imbecile about it.

Ask those same men the name of our Secretary of State – and 80% would look at you cross-eyed.

Ask them who is in line to the succession to the presidency – if something ever happened to the sitting incumbent -and they would not even know what you are talking about.

Furthermore, not one of them would care.

And, therein lies the crux of the matter.

Most Americans don’t know – and they simply don’t care.

Like the old ruler once intoned:

“Give the masses bread – and a circus – and they will be satisfied.”

So now we have half of the country playing FANTASY FOOTBALL – and the other half on FOOD STAMPS.

INCOME INEQUALITY

Which brings us to the most inane concept of this year’s presidential campaign – and no one knows how to even begin to deal with it.

Let me state, first and foremost, in a FREE, CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY, there is no such thing as Income Equality.

How on earth has this concept even been allowed to fester into the monster it has become?

By the mass media pumping it, day after day – and the GOP not having enough gravitas to swing back with all its might.

Mitt Romney gave it a good shot the other night but everybody jumped on him when he was talking about the 47% that were not going to vote for him – because they were on some sort of government handout.

Of course, this is not exactly what he said – but that is how the media portrayed it – and it stuck.

It is impossible to have income equality. If all incomes were equal – then all of us would be artists or musicians.

Who would want to study to be a doctor or a dentist, an airplane pilot or a mechanical engineer? Let’s just all smoke dope, paint pictures, write Zen-inspired poetry – and have the same income.

This type of thinking is ludicrous. But that is what is being pumped by the Liberals during this election. And it is working.

No one is talking about EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. Why? Because with equal opportunity comes the concept of competition. And with that in play, the requirement that is demanded is – hard work.

But, with the instillation of “everybody wins” and there are “no losers” – as is being perpetuated in our “public school systems” of today – EVERYBODY THINKS THEY ARE ENTITLED TO WIN – without having to sweat for the RIGHT to receive a higher wage or income.

Everybody wins? No losers? This is completely nuts!

Did you read what I just said? Sweat. At 70% of our population in the obese range – is it any wonder why kids and grownups alike – are opting out for fantasy games – fantasy lives – instead of buckling down, going out and finding a job – and getting this country back to work.

YOU UNCARING SON-OF-A-BITCH

No, that is not my point. Let me put it to you this way.

I am 65 years old. I still collect cans, plastic and bottles – and take them to our recycling center. I get about $25 every time I go there. I put that money into my truck gas tank.

I sell second hand furniture that I have refinished. I get about $100 a month from that side hobby.

I have a small investment company that buys and sells real estate. I also have a few rentals that I take care of.

I drive an old truck. My wife and I don’t go out to restaurants very often. We plan our trips to where we get a lot of chores done at once – to save on gas.

In contrast, we have two units that are being rented in our complex to people under the government sponsored, Section 8 program.

They come home late at night, fight (last night my wife thought somebody was going to get killed), trash is all around their condos, Mac Donald’s bags, Taco Bell trash and broken beer bottles are starting to litter the whole area.

Do they care? Apparently not. Why? Because they feel that they are ENTITLED to live in these condos – and they don’t have to take care of anything. And this is not a race thing. One family is white, the other black.

But they both have the same mental trend of thinking. I have talked with both families – and they sounded exactly the same. And among the eight persons between the two families – not one has a job, nor are they looking for employment.

The saddest thing is to see their kids. Cute as hell – headed for a life of dependency, more entitlements – and possibly time in prison.

If America does not wake up soon – it will simply be too late.

And for those that do not vote this November – then you have only yourselves to blame.

NATIONAL POW & MIA DAY

As the Middle East continues to devolve into total chaos, as our “commander in chief” is AWOL, and as the Untied States of America continues to be insulted and hated around the world by friends and foes alike, I want to take this time to remind everyone that today is National POW & MIA Day.

Although the mass media is shunning this holiday, it is with honor and humility that I thank them for their time, consideration – and service to America.

It will always be a mystery to me, as to why, when we had the chance to elect one of these brave men to the presidency – we chose Barack Obama instead. For that, I am sorry. I voted for John McCain – a true American hero.

So today, I salute all these brave men and women who are still in the status of POW or MIA. If they can receive this newsletter, I simply want to say that you are not forgotten by We The People. For without heros such as you, America would not be free today.

Thank you all.

And, it is with a very sad note, that I include the names of Christopher Stevens, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith in this edition.

May they all rest in peace.

Take care, keep thinking positive – and make sure to hang out your flag today as a reminder to those who have paid the “ultimate price” so that we still remain free.

In my last newsletter I tried something different, and got a wide range of responses – both on, and off – the record.

A very good friend of mine, who is a professional writer, once told me:

“The goal of a good writer isn’t so much to be understood; the real challenge is not to be misunderstood.”

Apparently, that happened somewhere in my last newsletter.

Comments such as, “Don’t tell me how to talk to other people,” and “Who the hell do you think you are telling me how to interact with Liberals?” Then to the more sublime comment of, “Seems that you did not save enough money when you were younger, so now you have to invest in the Stock Market to make up for lost time.”

It has always been very interesting to me how people can “read into” something that is really not written – nor even intended. I suppose it is the sign of the times – and also a testament to the anger and frustration that is brewing out there – just below the shallow surface.

With that in mind, I have decided to condense my “investment advice” – and then return to what most people seem to be more interested in, that being the political climate of the day.

COVERED CALLS WITH A TWIST

In my last newsletter I suggested four publications that you should think about getting, in order to make sound, stock decisions.

Today, I am going to give a quick thumbnail sketch as to how I use, what is referred to as, covered call writing on stocks that you already own.

Instead of going into the whole concept of what covered call writing is, I will give you the formula that I use – and if you are still interested, then you can dig deeper on your own as to how to implement this type of investing.

Basically, if you own 100 shares of any stock, that is optionable, you can write a covered call on it.

So, let’s take Bank of America, ticker symbol: BAC

On Friday, it closed at $9.55 per share.

Let’s work with 1,000 shares. That is $9550.00

If you buy 1,000 shares your investment is $9550.00 (plus broker fees = $7.00 with Scottrade). For simplicity, I will not include broker fees, as they are not that relevant to this topic.

Go to the Options bar on the left hand side of the page. Click it and you see that the September call for the $10 contract of BAC is .05 cents.

You Sell to Open 10 contracts and immediately get $50 into your account. This is your money to keep, no matter what happens to the stock.

Please bear in mind this is the simplest explanation – there are many variations on this type of investment.

2 Scenarios:

Scenario #1

By the end of the third week in September (all options expire on the third Friday of every month) if the stock is $10 or more – you get “called out of your stock.”

Your profit: $50 premium

$450 the amount from $9.55 to $10.00 call price that you promised to sell your stocks for.

In one week, you stand to make $500. PLEASE remember, next Friday is the third Friday – thus just one week.

Most covered calls run about 4 weeks (1 month) in duration.

TOTAL: $50 + $450 = $500 in one week

Scenario #2

By the end of the third week in September the stock price is NOT $10 or more, you keep the stock PLUS the premium (you never lose this money) and you can write another covered call for the following month.

Please bear in mind, if the stock goes OVER you only get the money from $9.55 to $10.00. Anything OVER that amount goes to the person who BOUGHT your covered call. This is the BUYER’S gain – and the gamble that he takes when buying your option.

The “Twist” on this approach is to pick DIVIDEND PAYING STOCKS that are due to pay the dividend during the time that you are writing the covered call and sell it at that time.

You collect the premium for writing the covered call, you collect the difference between the stock price and the “strike” price PLUS, you get to collect the dividend for that quarter.

The beauty about this is that, IF you stick to your principle of buying blue chip stocks with a good covered call premium – and a good dividend, you stand to cut your RISK to the bare minimum.

This is, in essence, the way many very successful money managers make their millions. Once you get to the point of where you have, say 10,000 shares of a good stock, you can write covered calls far enough out, so that you don’t lose the stock – but always collect the premium.

YES, there are a lot of variations pertaining to options – but if this approach sounds interesting – I suggest that you find a person who knows what I am talking about – or ask your broker to explain it to you.

It took me about six times of pounding into my thick skull by my good friend, Scott Greene, before I got the point. Ever since then, I have been making money writing covered calls. I have not gotten rich – but so far, we are very comfortable with the proceeds that we have been able to bank.

One note of caution. You will NOT understand this concept on the first try. Like I said, it took me six times to finally see the light. Lucky for me, Scott was willing to put up with my dumbness – and my constant harping that, “If this is so damn good, then why isn’t everybody doing it?”

His simple answer was, “Only those who stick with it make the money. Most just give up.”

I stuck with it – and I am glad I did.

I hope this concept of investing will help each and every reader to make extra money for the economic crunch I see coming – very soon.

The below article will help you to check out dividend stocks and the benefit of investing in them.

LET’S START HERE

As most of you know by now, the Middle East is in near chaos. I hope it finally settles down, but I have my doubts.

I received some very troubling news from two sources, both regarding Israel, and the impending conflict that appears to be a foregone conclusion. When, not if.

One piece of information came from a reader who has a family friend stationed in Israel. The other came from my mentor and confidant from many years back.

What startled me was that both sounded almost exactly the same – yet neither of these men know each other.

In summary, they both said that Israel is ready to strike Iran, that the movement of troops in the Sinai is extremely heavy, and the more telling by both men, was that troops are being bussed to the Wailing Wall – in essence, to say their last prayers before going into battle.

But also, they both mentioned that an Israeli Rabbi was called upon to issue a blessing to the troops – and for the nation of Israel.

This is the situation that I was predicting almost a year ago – except I thought it would come in October. Apparently, it is ready to go – without the explicit consent of the Obama Administration.

Yet, just this morning, came the news that the US Navy has dispatched an unprecedented amount of US Navy ships to the area – and are on stand-by, full alert.

The reason for this is, if Israel actually does launch a first strike, then the US will be there for them to fall back on.

In the likelihood that the Israeli strike is successful, then Obama can, again, take credit for “having Israel’s back” without having to actually do anything at all.

The worry lies in the off-chance that the Israeli Air Force runs into resistance – and the results don’t turn out as planned.

Then Obama will be forced to act – and THAT is where all the fear is concentrating itself as I write.

THE SHAME OF OBAMA’S MIDDLE EAST POLICY

The Obama Administration has led itself into the classic Neville Chamberlain abyss of trying to “reason” with unreasonable people. Nobody in his right mind now believes that Obama’s Middle East policy was right – let alone survive.

I believe it was Gandhi who once said:

“You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.”

Let Obama take a page from history – and learn from his naive mistake. But I doubt that will happen.

However, the REAL SHAME lies in the Main Stream Media’s refusal to actually tell what really happened to one of our best, and most respected Ambassador’s in Libya, Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

Anyone who thinks that these attacks – in 7 different countries – were spontaneous, are simply nuts. They were planned – but the Main Stream Media will NEVER admit that.

Exactly like they will not admit, nor even comment on the fact that before our United States Ambassador was assassinated, he was sodomized (raped) by his assailants. Not even animals stoop to this level.

Had American troops caught a terrorist leader – and raped him before they killed him – you can bet your last dime that every newspaper in the WORLD would have reported it – pictures and all.

Thus, my assertion that the Main Stream Media is not only hoping that Obama gets re-elected, but the media also is in full consort with this current Administration to draw down America – to the level of a Third World Country – and, in essence, destroy America as we know it today.

Therefore, I appeal to all Americans – regardless of your political affiliation – to get out the vote for Mitt Romney.

No, I am not a Romney supporter. I am an AMERICAN supporter. And, in this election, if you vote for Romney, you are voting for America.

If, on the other hand, you wish to see America become equally POOR with the rest of the nations on this globe – then I urge you to vote for the incumbent.

Thanks to another dedicated reader, these photos – from Middle East Media – show the shocking details of the actual rape, dragging of his dead body and the ensuing dancing in the streets after the assassination of Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

For awhile now I have been accused of “harping” on the same thing, “beating a dead horse” and other overly used cliches. After some careful thought, I have to admit, you readers have a point.

I remember, when in training – both in the US Army and in university – one of the best methods of instruction was repeat, repeat and repeat. Then repeat some more. They call it rote memorization. That brand of training saved my life – more than once.

As an added variation of another cliche:

I was screaming at the choir.

That being said, I plead guilty. My fault – and I apologize.

MENTAL INCONTINENCE

I suppose that my frustration comes from the fact that I have a lot of conversations with Liberal “thinkers” who really don’t think – beyond their own selfish, immediate interests.

And as soon as I say that, my Liberal friends puff up, fold their arms across their chests and start to go nuts – in every way possible – citing all the main-stream media bias and contempt for Conservatives and their way of thinking.

I believe that I have finally figured out this dilemma. It is a form of MENTAL INCONTINENCE.

Incontinent:

adjective

1. unable to restrain natural discharges or evacuations of urine or feces

2. unable to restrain or retain temper

3. lacking in moderation or self-control

4. unceasing or unrestrained: an incontinent flow of talk

Notice, when Liberals are on talk shows, they just talk over everybody else. They bully, coerce and just try to manage the whole conversation.

Of course, some on the Right do exactly the same thing, notably Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly.

But the Left seems to have a real monopoly on this type of approach. Barney Frank, Pelosi, Axelrod, Rham, Wasserman-Shultz, et al, immediately come to mind.

But trying to talk “over” them really does no good – and only exacerbates the situation. Believe me, I have tried, and it does not work.

So here is my plan from this point on – and I suggest that you try it – and see what happens.

But first, remember this little maxim:

“If you don’t own the land – then you are just renting.”

And in this maxim lies the crux of all human condition. LAND.

So here is what I have been doing with my Liberal friends of late, and for the most part, it stops them in their tracks. Some have actually thanked me for taking the time to “share” this information.

First off, don’t tell them what they should know. Better to ask them.

A very good friend of mine once said, “It is better to lead your opponent with a smile into the trap, instead of forcing him.” Thanks, John.

Here is the first question.

“Which would you rather have, your own home – paid for – or would you rather rent?”

Of course, they will say, “I would rather own my own home.” If they don’t admit this, then change the subject to football or American Idol. You are talking to a complete moron.

If they answer correctly, then you ask them, “Do you rent or is your house paid off?”

If they are still renting, then you have a captive audience. I would venture an uneducated guess that more Liberals rent, than own, their own homes. At least, that has been my experience.

And, as a side note, most people whose homes are paid off are Conservative in nature. That, too, has been my observation.

Now, you ask them, “If you want to own, but are still renting, why is that?”

Once they are done, and make sure you have let them drain it all out, then ask them the following questions:

What kind of car do you drive? Is it paid for?

Do you have a flat screen TV? It is paid for?

Do you smoke?

Do you drink alcohol?

Do you buy bottled water? (Only complete idiots do this).

Are you out of debt?

How many vacations do you take a year?

How often do you eat out at restaurants? Drink coffee at Starbucks? Go to the movies? Take a Sunday drive?

Go shopping? Get your nails done? Go to the beauty parlor?

REMEMBER:

The person who is asking the questions (that’s you) – is in control.

And no, this is not a control freak exercise. It is a learning process.

Once you get to the last question, any logical thinking person will start to see what you are driving at.

Maybe it really is “my” fault. If they have not come to this conclusion, then you are not doing it correctly.

The secret is: Let them speak until they are completely FINISHED with every question. Don’t interrupt. Let them fully partake in the mental incontinence that they are so desperately laboring under.

WHAT DO I DO AFTER THAT?

Good question.

Then you can say, “Would you like to learn a good way to change your life?” (Don’t worry, I am not selling Amway).

What I am trying to sell them on, is the Capitalist way of living.

But that way of living is the most difficult – yet provides for the MOST INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM.

And now we come to the hard part – one that took me a long time to realize.

The best person to teach you – is yourself.

If the person that you are talking to is still receptive – and you have not blown up in their “blaming of others for their pitiful lot in life,” then you can actually HELP them see the LIGHT.

But first, you have to convince them to educate themselves.

BUT HOW DO I DO THAT?

By suggesting that they read the following publications:

The Wall Street Journal

Investor’s Business Daily

Barron’s Magazine (The weekend edition)

Yes, a yearly subscription on all three of these comes to about $500 combined. (No, I am not selling subscriptions, only sharing some very important information).

At this point they will renege and say, “No way. I can’t afford it.”

That is precisely what I said when a good friend suggested that I do the same thing. And, at that time, I was 40 years old, still renting, teaching in Japan – and getting nowhere FAST.

The trick is, to convince the person that once they read these publications, start to take notes and understand the market – the subscription costs will come back to them ten-fold when they make their first trade.

FIRST TRADE? YOU MEAN THE STOCK MARKET?

That is exactly what I mean.

And here is where you are going to get the most resistance. I know. I did the same thing. It is a natural reaction.

The stock market is a “fool’s game.” It is “rigged.” Only “chumps” play the market.

Yes, I said all of the above.

That is how stupid and naive I was.

Remember, the first set of questions? If you were able to get past them – and convince the person to start to save, instead of spend money on stupid things – then, by the time they are ready to make their initial investment – they will be fully prepared to make the first move – that will forever change the rest of their life.

That is what good friends do – they help others – to help themselves. That is the essence of, what I like to refer to as FRIENDLY CAPITALISM.

If you have read this edition of The American Telegraph up to this point – without freaking out, or making up all sorts of excuses – then you have a chance to partake in the real Capitalist Beauty of the Stock Market.

And, as in the example above, you don’t have to be talking to a Liberal friend. You just might be talking to yourself.

However, if you wave your arms, resort to complaining – and continue to live in the same rut that you perhaps find yourself in – then, my friend, you have no one else to blame – but YOURSELF.

I ask my readers for help all the time. If you are interested, please let me know in the blog section as to whether I should continue this information and how it has affected my own life. If you don’t think it is worthwhile for me to continue, I will stop this trend of thinking – and move on to more mundane, political commentary.

BUT, if you REALLY want to, at least, get a different perspective on how to make some reliable income, then please let me know.

One caveat:

I am not a business consultant. I have no formal training in the investment field. I am not advocating any type of stocks, bonds or securities to buy, sell or trade. I am merely sharing a few thoughts that were passed on to me – by friends whose investment ideas have given me the opportunity to do what I have done in my life up to this point

Please let me know if this is a good subject. If so, I will continue. It only gets better from here.

I have a large number of stocks for you to consider, a couple of conservative option strategies, and some reliable, long range dividend stocks that have produced yearly payments – some for over 30 years.

And all of the information is FREE. All you have to do is listen – and learn how to protect yourself – if, and when – Obama wins a second term. Remember, there is 51% of the population that wants Conservatives to pay for their well-being. This is one way to arm yourself for that, if it happens. Prepare yourself now.

However, if you are not interested in this type of thinking – then please let me know – and I will change the subject.

Far be it for me to force anybody to live free – and retire in comfort.

“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people!”

– Clint Eastwood – September, 2012 –

It is somewhat ironic to me, at 65 years old, that when I was a kid, I asked a teacher why the Jews in Nazi Germany just held up their hands and did not protest at being herded into boxcars and hauled away to the gas chambers.

My reasoning was, “If they knew they were going to die anyway, why didn’t they just rush the German guards, take away their guns, kill the Nazis and escape?” According to all the pictures I had seen – even to this very day – the Jews completely outnumbered their captors. So why the hesitation?

My teacher was not amused by my question. I think the reason was because she had no answer. By the way, my teacher was a middle-aged, Jewish lady, teaching us the meaning of Hanukkah and the significance of the Eight Candles.

Thus, started my lifelong quest of asking simple questions – to which there seem to be no simple answers.

And this brings me to where we are in America today. We are at a Crossroads in History – and I see the exact same reaction from MILLIONS of Americans facing the same question I posited to my elementary school teacher so many years ago.

If such an amount of people KNOW that Obama is not really eligible to be President of the United States of America, then why is he still in office? Why doesn’t the United States Congress impeach him – on very legal, impeachable grounds?

I think the answer is the same as it was in the “Old” Germany – as it is now in the “New” Germany of the United States of America today.

People are simply afraid to ask the question for fear of being shot down by a plethora of Media Bias, Union Vindictiveness, Official Government Harassment – not to mention the Harangues from the Liberal Left.

In other words, Americans have been cowed into being total COWARDS.

There has been a mountain of evidence – both speculative and substantiated – that Obama is NOT an American citizen.

But yet, why no Congressional hearings? We have them for every other reason under the sun – so why not one more on the REAL nature of Barack Obama’s true birthplace?

According to the Constitution, a person mush be at least 35 years old and a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN of the United States to be eligible to run for the highest office in the land.

Obama is NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

And this is the first time I have ever said this. Yes, I thought about it. No, I am not a birther. In fact, I would love for somebody to define what birther really means. I have not been able to find it in any dictionary. Can some reader give me a direct dictionary quote?

Could it be, that the Main Stream Media actually made up that Politically Correct Term – as they have done on so many other occasions?

Having the courage to speak up – to STAND UP – is something that most Americans these days are not able to do.

Why is this?

Because, to be able to stand up – you must first have a BACKBONE.

As usual, a very good friend, and reader of The American Telegraph, Adjunct Professor W. Jones, sent me some very disturbing information.

Ironically, it is from a Jewish organization. I hope you will take the time to read it for yourself and see what you come up with. Your comments are more than welcome in the blog section of this newsletter.

This is a prestigious university in Israel that has produced this documentation – and actually explains how this massise “hoax was perpetuated on the American people.”

NOTE: If you scan several different pieces of paper simultaneously in a scanner, and export it to PDF, it’s only 1 layer. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to scan any single document or even multiple pieces of paper simultaneously and get anything other than 1 layer. The only possible way to get multiple layers from a scanned document is to ADD layers to it.

KISSINGER AND THE SECRET OIL PLAN

Most people are unaware that back in the early 1970s, Henry Kissinger made a secret deal with Saudi Arabia for the exclusive purchase of oil from that country – at approximately $2.00 a barrel. One barrel = 55 GALLONS of oil.

Still others, when asked, believe that either Chevron or Mobil are the biggest oil producing companies in the world.

This is not true. The biggest – and most profitable – oil company is PRIVATELY HELD. The name of that company:

ARAMCO OIL (Arabian American Oil)

So, Kissinger made the agreement to buy all the oil from Saudi Arabia – and NOT drill in the vast oil fields of the United States as a “gesture” to the Saudis. Thus, the Saudis would have a guaranteed source of income from the USA – in perpetuity.

The plan, in Kissinger’s head, was to deplete all of the Saudi’s oil – and then drill in the USA for our own oil – and, in turn, have a monopoly on the oil production in the world – well into the 21st Century.

But the story does not end there.

To consummate the deal, Kissinger had the Saudis agree that ALL INTERNATIONAL OIL TRANSACTIONS were to be only in UNITED STATES DOLLARS.

This means that, if Germany wants to buy oil on the open market – it must first buy US Dollars – and then purchase its oil. It cannot LEGALLY purchase oil in any other currency.

Yet, for the dollar to be more flexible, it had to be a fiat monetary instrument.

Fiat money is not BACKED by any real commodity. It is merely a “promise to pay.”

The Nixon Administration, in cahoots with the FED, decided to take the US off the GOLD STANDARD, thus making the deal work.

So, in 1972, Kissinger made the “secret oil deal” and Nixon took the US off the Gold Standard – thus, paving the way for inflation and a weaker dollar.

BUT, there was an even deeper plan – in back of Kissinger’s head.

If the US was “secretly dependent” on Saudi oil – then that meant the USA would have to DEFEND its oil interests in Saudi Arabia.

And, to a very certain extent, defend the only Democracy in the Middle East – ISRAEL.

No, I am not a “Zionist” or any other label that you wish to put on people who support the existence of Israel.

I am simply pointing out how, when viewed from this perspective, America is “tied at the hip” with BOTH Saudi Arabia and Israel.

And it is this secret deal that America is still adhering to. Thus, the predicament that ensuing administrations have been placed in.

America MUST protect Saudi Arabia – one of the most repressive ISLAMIC regimes in the Middle East – and also be the number one supporter of Israel – the only Democracy in the Middle East, to boot.

AMERICAN OIL/ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Most Americans are not aware of this political conundrum.

So, recently, when certain political people start to clamor for American Energy Independence – the whole wall of secrecy is put in jeopardy – not to mention the RETURN to the gold standard.

If America actually does start to drill for its own oil – which it has in abundance for the next 100 years (and which was KNOWN to Kissinger and geologists back in 1972) then somebody might just “tell all” to the world – and see what a concoction this whole “energy debate” really is all about.

T. Boone Pickens has known all along that oil and NATURAL GAS are the strong suits of America. Anybody who thinks otherwise has been totally hoodwinked by the MSM into thinking in such a manner.

America is drowning in oil.

Yet, the “underlying basis” of the secret deal is the PRESERVATION OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

And, therein lie the crux of the matter.

Prime Minister Netanyahu knows about this secret pact. Everyone in “the know” knows about it – thus, the Saudis and the Israelis are playing the American public for the suckers that they really are.

Robert Dole once declared that there were only three reasons for the US being at war in the Middle East:

“O – I – L”

But I believe that Kissinger had an ulterior motive – in that assuring the USA had a grand bargain with the Saudis, it would also imply that that America would have to defend Israel in order to protect its oil interests.

One might ask, why is that? Israel has no oil.

This is true.

But, by defending Israel, and building up its military to one of the biggest in the WORLD, the USA has a land base from which to launch its OWN military excursions anywhere in the Middle East.

So, in essence, Kissinger played a masterstroke in gaining oil from Saudi Arabia – and also insuring the existance of his secretly beloved Israel.

Again, please do not equate this with any sort of “anti-semitism” on my part.

I am merely pointing out the facts – and the truly Machiavellian mind of Henry Kissinger – and how it just might lead us into, yet another conflict, in the Middle East – before the November 2012 election.

9/11 OBSERVANCE – NEXT TUESDAY

This is a time of mourning for the United States of America.

My sincerest sympathies – and condolences – to all who lost their lives on that tragic day.

BUT, I must ask – what really happened?

Was it a terrorist attack by crazy Muslims – and we in America – the CIA, the FBI – and in other parts of the World – had NO IDEA what was going to happen?

I find it extremely difficult to believe that Muslim terrorist could get on TWO planes, hijack them, fly them into the TWIN TOWERS, and another jet plane be flown into the Pentagon.

THREE jet planes – all in one day.

And yet, not a SINGLE person AROUND THE WORLD knew even a teensy-weensy bit about what was going on?

Are we, as Americans, really that dumb?

I am not so sure that they were totallyundetected.

Yes, they were Muslims.

And, yes, they were terrorists.

But in all honesty, how could not ONE person – let alone not one single security organization – even get a whiff that something was awry.

Then, what got me to wondering what was going on, was the following day when there was a blackout in the skies all over America. I mean, the whole airspace was completely empty.

I remember this extremely well – because my wife and I were to leave LAX at 11:00 am that same morning to fly back to Japan.

Our hotel was in Hermosa Beach – about 15 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport. Of course, our flight was cancelled – as were ALL other flights in America.

The skies were virtually empty the following day.

As I lay on my hotel bed dozing from watching all the news, I suddenly found myself on the floor of our hotel room. My wife said I automatically took cover – when two Air Force jets zoomed overhead about 500 feet off the ground.

I immediately tuned in to find out that the United States Air Force was patrolling ALL major airports in the country.

And that only ONE aircraft was allowed in the sky that day. All others were to be SHOT DOWN.

That airplane carried one group of very important people – the relatives and immediate family members of the BIN LADEN clan.

This family, and its members, have been allegedly tied – directly or indirectly – to the ARAMCO Corporation for years. There are rumors that the Bush family – and the Cheney family also had ties to the bin Laden family.

So what the hell really happened?

And how was this able to be covered up to such an extent that we – and the World – STILL do not know what REALLY took place on that fateful day?

I am still waiting for the Warren Commission Report, on the assassination of President Kennedy, to come out – in another 50 years.

HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY – SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 9

Now that I am a grandparent I can appreciate what being a “grand” parent really means.

In truth, I never thought I would be a grandfather, so when it hit me it was kind of a surprise – and a very enjoyable one at that.

But I would like to take a moment and say thanks to the GREAT Grandparents of our time.

THEY were truly the GREATEST generation this nation has ever produced.

They were the ones that were born and bred in the throes of the Great Depression, went without food and water, lost their farms and land to the devastations of the Great Dust Bowl, enlisted to fight in World War Two, produced the greatest group of Army fighters, the 442nd Japanese combat team (highest decorated unit in US Army history), to help save Europe from itself, defeated Nazism and Imperial Japan, went back to war in Korea and yet managed to come back home and help build America into the greatest nation this World has ever known.

Along with all the Grandparents of today – I salute the GREAT Grandparents of yesterday – that made it possible.

Thank you all!

Best wishes and keep thinking positive,

There will be a QE 3 – predicted almost one year ago

Gas prices will be around $3.20 in October/November 2012

If Obama looks like he will win, Israel could very well unleash a preemptive strike on Iran in October 2012

THE IGNORANCE OF ARROGANCE

When I came back from Vietnam I took my father’s advice and went to college. Talk about a real shock.

For the most part, the “teachers” I had were pathetic impostors who spewed nothing but hate and vitriol toward everything the United States stood for. On numerous occasions, once I was singled out as a “fucking Vietnam veteran,” I was the target of the whole class. It was some of the best training I ever got with relation to dealing with total and complete imbeciles.

Academics was not the point of a college education in those days – indoctrination was the actual Modus Operandi – as it continues to this very day. (See the first video below).

I had to battle with bullying professors, ignorant students and just plain dumb people that had no idea of what was going on – either in America or the outside world.

Speak to other Vietnam veterans – and they will vouch for everything I am saying.

Am I “ranting?” No, just telling the truth.

You see how our mind works nowadays?

If a person starts to tell the truth, and “Liberals” or “Conservatives” do not like it, then you are “angry” or an “angry white man,” or a “right-wing fascist nut-job” or just plain “crazy.”

Somewhere, during the constant harassing and belittlement, I decided to learn as much as I could – from BOTH sides – and that is when I threw off the ignorant shackles of both “Liberalism” and “Conservatism” and became a BARRY GOLDWATER/RON PAUL, True Conservative.

Then I got it from all sides.

But I was OK with that – because I finally had a base from which to operate.

Both the Republicans and Democrats were so far out to lunch that I was in total opposition to both parties.

So, when I ran for Congress in 2004, as a New Republican, the ingrained vitriol of the Ignorant Class that ran the GOP in Washington state, (and still does), came at me with a vengeance I had not anticipated.

The Evangelical Element was furious with me for advocating that the Government did not belong in a person’s bedroom – nor in the womb of a woman.

If homosexuals wanted to do their “thing” well, so be it. I really did not care.

If women wanted to abort their own child, so be it. I really did not care.

Do I agree with either of these positions? Certainly not. But that is not the point. These two “issues” simply were NONE of my business.

I felt it was not up to the GOVERNMENT to tell people who thought like this what to do.

I also felt that the GOVERNMENT should not interfere with how businesses ran their corporations. Because corporations really are people.

Take away the people – from the corporations – and all you have left are empty BUILDINGS.

Yes, this is pure Ayn Rand type of thinking. And if you have never read THE FOUNTAINHEAD, then shame on you.

The idea is to be totally free in your concepts and thinking patterns – so as to be able to make informed decisions.

The idea of ideological dogma is the infection – the disease – of the “party thinker” and should be avoided at all costs.

Thus, my time in both junior college and university was a daily battle against all those “corporate thinkers” that are so well depicted in both THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED.

I always find it amazing how, when people are sitting and watching (or reading) either of these great pieces of art – they COMPLETELY identify with the protagonist.

But, in real life, they fall right into line with their own ideological trend of thinking.

Kind of like the puritanical nutto who chastises a person for saying the word fuck, and then scurries home to watch the latest version of the SOPRANOS on television.

It simply does not make any sense at all.

But to them, they are perfectly logical in their illogical take on life.

I majored in Education, got an MA degree in the field – and received over a 3.5 GPA – in the age of NON-inflationary grading.

It was some of the hardest work – academically – that I have ever done.

Why? Because I was a MINORITY.

Come again?

Yes, all Vietnam veterans were considered second-class citizens. They had some of the highest dropout rates in college.

Yet, it was some of the best times in my life. Because I had to work TWICE as hard, to prove myself in class, both in debate/discussions – and on EVERY Blue Book Essay Test that I had to write. It was truly great training.

No True/False, Multiple Guess tests in those days. Everything had to be written.

Through it all I actually taught myself how to READ BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION.

Churchill once said:

“When a man is 20 years old, if he is not a Liberal, he has no heart. And when a man is 40 years old, if he is not a Conservative, he has no brain.”

Some of my best classes in Argumentation and Debate, when I was teaching in Japan, was when I would let the students pick which side of an argument they would like to defend.

Everybody went home, studied for a week, then came back to class – fully prepared to fight for their prescribed positions.

The room would always erupt in HOWELS of protest – when I would SWITCH the rolls of the debaters – and then tell them to have their debate – defending exactly the OPPOSITE position that they had prepared for.

After EVERY class debate, the students would come up to me – in wide-eyed amazement – and say, “That was the best debate I have ever had.”

Why? Because it taught them to THINK outside of their own personal universe.

In other words – for the first time in their little, self-centered lives – they were actually thinking BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES.

Why am I saying all this today?

Because one of the few thinkers of our times, and an avid reader of THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH, just sent me three videos that I think you might want to check out – if you are so inclined to “extend” you parameters of logical comprehension.

They are all short – and to the point.

The first video shows the complete – and utter stupidity – of the “Liberal” thinkers of today, when it comes to their “logical thinking” regarding profits and corporations. It is amazing to see people who actually think – and say – the things that you will witness on this video.

Milton Friedman hit the nail on the head regarding these two points.

The second video just proves what I had to go through with relation to the stupidity – and the vulgarity – of the GOP, and how it is still run to this very day.

The third video speaks for itself – and uses some harsh language. My apologies for all those who have never heard this type of language before.

Let it be stated – before any readers get their “dander up” – that BOTH parties act in the exact same manner.

All you had to do was witness the ugly voting on the delegate floor of the “Democratic” convention yesterday, to see how dictatorial they really are. If you did not watch it, as it unfolded, you missed a real lesson in how things are handled by the Status Quo of the Democrats.

This is not a political thing. It is a FREEDOM thing.

And, if you do not start to think, from a position of FREEDOM, then you are destined to be the slave to those who are determined to do your thinking for you.

My hat is off to Richard Bachert, for sending me these videos. They truly speak for themselves.

As always, I am indebted to my readers for helping me write THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.

Without all of you out there – who still care – this newsletter would not be possible.

I have been watching the Democratic Convention for the last two days and learning a lot of new tactics and political concepts.

But what really blew me out was talking to a couple of friends – Conservatives – last evening, and finding out that they are NOT even watching any of the convention.

When I asked them why not, they simply said, “I know what they are going to say, already. Besides, they all make me sick.”

If any readers are acting in such a manner – then you should be ashamed of yourselves. If you fall into this, stupid, self-centered category – they you have NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.

Sun Tsu always maintained that, “You learn the most from your enemy. Ignore him, and you do so at your own peril.”

I implore each and every reader to watch the convention – and learn what they are saying – and how they are saying it. Quit bitching and moaning – and glean even the smallest particles of insight and tactical approaches from your enemies.

I read yesterday that Glenn Beck is not watching the convention. Apparently, he paid somebody else to watch it – and then report back to him on what took place. He is reported to have paid the viewer $500.

As with a lot of Internet news – it might be false. I have no idea to the authenticity – but if it IS true – he should be thrown off the air.

How in hell’s name can you consider yourself a “thought leader” if you don’t observe “the other side?”

The arrogance of stupidity is appalling.

It is total idiocy to NOT watch the convention.

If you did watch today, you would have seen something that would have shocked the living daylights out of you. (For you sensitive souls out there, I did not use the word shit, so don’t complain).

On the floor of the convention hall, the democrats had to vote THREE times -before they allowed the word GOD to be included BACK into their platform. And also, they had to re-include the fact that Jerusalem was, in fact, the CAPITAL of Israel.

If THAT does not show you where these people are coming from – then I give up. But if you were sitting and pouting about not wanting to watch the Democrats – then you missed the whole show.

Yes, shame on you.

The reason for this Special Edition is to ENCOURAGE all of you to watch the remaining days of the Democratic National Convention.

Wake up, get involved – and stay INFORMED!

We can win in November – but it is NOT going to be easy. Take one day as a given – and you might not have a tomorrow to look forward to.

LABOR DAY LISTENING

I am sure that most of you get the same stuff in your in-box with the subject heading of, “MUST READ.”

Most of it is worthless tripe and a total waste of time.

Well, today I am sending you a “MUST LISTEN” which will get your mind on a more coherent track for the upcoming election – and the actual debate that will be critical to the direction that this country will take for the next 100 years.

Below is a site that airs the classic Milton Friedman speech in which he debunks the five myths of our present day society. Bear in mind, this speech was given in 1977 – over THIRTY YEARS AGO. It is more pertinent now, than ever before.

It is long, but try to set aside an hour and teach yourself something that is more useful than a four year degree in economics.

If you are interested, you can go to this site and sign up for FREE, daily information regarding investments, financing and economic factors of our time.

But this is ONLY meant for people who are SERIOUSLY concerned with trying to right our current ship of STATE.

Those of you who simply like to bitch, moan and complain, I suggest that you just keep watching American Idol and getting fatter.

But for those of you who are truly devoted to the betterment of America, I guarantee it will be time well-spent.

For those of you who missed Clint Eastwood’s parody/comic routine/ speech last night, you missed an Oscar winning performance.

At first, I cringed at seeing him on stage. He looked somewhat disheveled and drawn. That was the bait.

Then Mr. Eastwood went into his spiel – pretending to be somewhat befuddled and not sure of himself. Then he began to hit his zingers – the empty chair, the “he can’t do that to himself” and “No, I can’t do that to myself, either.”

And on and on he went – until he finally finished with his, “Go ahead . . .”

To which the audience replied with a rousing, “MAKE MY DAY.”

I have been watching the TV on and off all day today and here is how it has played out to me.

Mr. Eastwood has about a 50% approval rating on his performance. But I give him 1000%, and here is why:

As I have been encouraging all you readers – please watch the “enemy channels” so you know what they are doing – and so you know how to design your own approach them on your own terms.

So, today, I tuned into see Al Sharpton and here is what he was saying.

Clint Eastwood did damage to Mr. Romney, because he took time away from the “beautiful family video” about Mitt Romney and his family.

AND THEN, AL SHARPTON PLAYED ALMOST THREE MINUTES OF THE VIDEO!

Talk about dumb. Mr. Sharpton played Mitt Romney’s home video on MSNBC, to the audience that was NOT watching the GOP convention – millions of viewers – who are democrat and not going to vote for Romney – because he is a rich bastard and has no feelings whatsoever.

Mr. Sharpton actually aired the video, and the commentators were actually saying how great a video it was – and how it showed the compassionate side of Mitt Romney.

And then there was a PREGNANT pause – as if, everybody just realized what they had done.

But it was too late. Al Sharpton and MSNBC, in their HASTE to portray Mr. Eastwood as a dithering idiot – in turn exposed themselves as the consummate asses they really are.

In their zeal to portray the GOP and Mr. Eastwood as fools – they gave free air time to the video that was supposed to be shown, in its entirety, at the convention – and on TV – but was cut short by the extended length of Mr. Eastwood’s “Empty Chair” speech.

Since last night – the “Empty Chair” speech has gone viral.

Talk about a political coup of the highest order.

Mr. Eastwood, cast out the “line” then set the bait – and then lured in the whole WORLD.

And Al Sharpton and MSNBC are still wiping crow from their collective chins.

In essence, they actually DID do it to THEMSELVES.

This is probably one of the biggest blunders that MSNBC has pulled in a long time.

Thank you, Mr. Sharpton!

OBAMA PREDICTION

President Obama is so thin-skinned, so childish, so immature – that I predict that in his acceptance speech on Thursday, he will make some kind of reference to Mr. Eastwood. If he does, it will backfire 100% – and show him to be truly the ill-prepared and ill-tempered child occupying a position of power in which he has no business being in.

“We have to let him go.” – Clint Eastwood –

Maybe there is still hope.

BLUE MOON TONIGHT – NEIL ARMSTRONG – RIP

When you look up at the blue moon tonight, remember to say a word of thanks for one of America’s greatest – and most humble – heros of our time.

Rest in Peace, Neil Armstrong. If only everybody had the courage and decency to serve America in the same way – we would not be in the shape we are in today.

God bless Neil Armstrong.

THE FLOOD VICTIMS – LABOR DAY

Please also remember the flood victims at this time of year. They have been devastated – again – and need our support and prayers.

Here is wishing you all a happy and safe Labor Day weekend. Drive safely, take your time – and if you are drunk, let somebody else get behind the wheel.

Take care, keep thinking positive – and don’t wear white the day after Labor Day.

A while back I wrote that the GOP is going to have to deal with the bought-and-paid-for mass media. I had no idea that they would actually be able to literally control what is printed to such a magnitude as the story below. As to this date, I have not seen this news on any front page newspaper in America.

BUT, had it been a GOP member, I have a strange feeling that everyone in the world would know about it.

Check the site out below and see what you think about our printed media and the power it wields.

Bear in mind, this is not about homosexual conduct – it is about “All the News without Fear or Favor.”

America now, sliding into a socialist/tyrannical state, in the form of a record number of Presidential Orders – by-passing the US Constitution – and hundreds of CZARS (unelected FRIENDS) in the current White House Administration

Need I go on?

Yet, the GOP and the Romney/Ryan ticket are skipping over a lot of these items.

I still have a lot of venom building up with regard to the GOP, the Evangelical Element (and their quiet insertion of being against choice and also homosexuals in the GOP platform– effectively cutting off both Libertarian and Independent voters) along with Reinhold Reince Priebus and Company.

If, with all the above areas of attack that Romney and Ryan have at their disposal – they still cannot defeat Obama – it is THEIR direct fault. No one else’s.

OUR FRIENDS, THE CHINESE

I wrote a book entitled CHINA HOUSE a few years ago – predicting what is currently taking place now.

When I wrote the book, it got very good reviews – and then nothing after that.

I took a lot of heat, mainly on a racial/bigoted level. The truth hurts – and the truth is something that our current Administration and the Chinese government despise with a vengeance.

While writing CHINA HOUSE I was confronted by my department head – and “advised” not to publish the book – until I was out of the country and back in the USA.

When I asked him what the danger was he sighed and said, “They will withhold your passport.”

That was enough to make me wait until I returned to America. I wrote the book in fulfillment of a promise I made to my students – to tell the truth about China, as I saw it, on a day-to-day basis.

However, what is now unfolding is even eye-opening to me – and not predictedin the book.

The news, just stated on the business news channel, took me by total surprise.

Apparently, hundreds of ultra-wealthy Chinese families are now fleeing China because they see their government “coming after them” to make them stay put in China – or risk going to jail – for being rich.

It was reported that families are coming into the Orange County area of California, buying 40 to 50 houses at one time – for CASH. Houses in that area average around $700,000 per unit – and they are buying them as fast as they can close the deal.

In recent days, I have received more caustic emails than I have in quite some time, regarding my portrayal of the GOP party platform – and especially the VP choice.

I have been accused of “giving up” and of being “negative to the point of nausea” and others that are too explicit for even me to print.

I am not complaining. That is part of the price you have to pay for telling the truth.

“If you want to piss people off, tell them the truth.” – Colin Powell

There is another saying that goes:

“A writer worth his salt is not worried about being understood; what concerns him most is being misunderstood.”

Apparently, that is my problem. Rush Limbaugh used to often lament this fact on his program – of which I rarely listen to nowadays. He was always complaining that, “People don’t read what I write.”

So let me relate a story that happened to me when I was still in university. I volunteered to be a Little League coach in Campbell, California (something I would suggest every person do – once), and went about it in somewhat of a military fashion.

I made the kids do workouts before they started to play, told them how difficult the opposing team would be, not to take anything for granted – and always encouraged them to think positive.

My favorite line of encouragement was, “A walk is as good as a hit.”

Whether you know it or not, little kids rarely think for the TEAM – only for themselves. And no matter how many times you give the batter the “take” sign, they swing for the fences anyway. It is just the nature of the game – with LITTLE KIDS.

But it is not supposed to be that way with BIG KIDS.

To remedy the situation, I would always encourage the kids that actually did walk, by yelling, “Way to go. A walk is as good as a hit.”

And it finally caught on, to where the kids actually started repeating the phrase. The kids finally got it.

But many American Telegraph readers, tend to still act like children. They whine, bitch and moan. They are so damn sensitive that they take “umbrage” with the least little phrase that I write. By the way, how many times have you heard the word umbrage nowadays?

So here is what I am trying to do, for all those readers too damn dense to get my point.

I am NOT thinking negative. If I were thinking negative – I would not still be writing this newsletter.

What I am trying to do is show the many Republicans who are now smirking and stating – emphatically – that Romney is going to win in a LANDSLIDE – that the election cycle has just begun.

Ladies and Gentlemen – I HOPE Romney DOES win – but it ain’t over until the GRAVITY CHALLENGED Lady Sings!

But that does not mean we get OVERCONFIDENT and start the pious hypocrisy that happened back in the 1980s. That is where the GOP thought they could do no wrong – and Newt Gingrich went nuts with his Evangelical Element – and damn near ruined the GOP forever.

No doubt, there will be those of you out there that will take offense with this last paragraph. That is fine, too. But THAT is just my point. That is NOT my point.

Does that make any sense at all?

I hope so, because what I am trying to do is ENCOURAGE the GOP to go for a walk, instead of a home run.

Spread the money around – and get more GOP members into office – even if you do NOT agree with everyone of their points. The idea is to win the game. Not to be the team who hit one home run – and then lose the game to the other team who got a single, a double and a triple, all in the same inning.

The idea is NOT to give the GOP a false sense of SELF-ESTEEM. The idea is to take nothing for granted,

The GOP is playing with fire when they take on the Chicago Establishment – and that is exactly what they are attempting to do.

Please remember, just two days ago, I warned about Joe Biden and his FOIL remarks. Oddly enough, he just made a huge one yesterday – and like zombies – everyone was talking about it.

Time is of the essence – and that is the GAME that the Democrats are playing.

Yet, the DUMB GOP plays right along with the strategy.

So my suggestion is:

Whatever Biden says should be answered with, “Well, there he goes again.” And LET IT GO at that.

Otherwise, another day is wasted talking about his “gaffes” ad infinitum. These statements are CALCULATED to waste as much time as possible. Biden is doing his job with the expert acuteness of a polished used car salesman.

Is my line of reasoning NOW making any sense at all?

We the People – Wake Up!

A PRESCIENT PHONE CALL

Talk about waking up. I got a phone call – a rarity from my long-time mentor – last night, and he was boiling.

Apparently, he got wind of things that are happening around the globe and wanted somebody to lend a consoling ear – which I was more than happy to do.

He was running on all eight cylinders so here is the gist of our conversation.

Obama has given up so much credibility in the international arena, that our allies are now second-guessing America. No longer are they working in tandem.

Iran and Israel are getting closer to all-out confrontation, and the Administration is trying “like hell” to keep it out of the papers – until “the most strategic political moment is at hand.”

Venezuela is now completely “open” with its support of Iran, as is Russia – and China.

Speaking of China – it controls both ends of the Panama Canal. Yes, I realize that the Panamanian Governemnt claims that it controls the Canal. Now I ask you, if the Chinese want to run the Canal, in time of crisis, do you REALLY believe that the Panamanian Government could stop them from doing so?

Our allies in “Eastern” Europe are still tremendously angry at Obama just “giving up” its missile defense shield of Poland and other allies in the region.

As for Russia – and this was his real reason for calling – apparently the Russian Navy has actually been traversing our waterways off the coast of America – with impunity. They now believe that America will do nothing about it.

At this point I thought he was a little bit too much into his cups – it was 0130 when he called.

Then I read the EXACT SAME THING in the Wall Street Journal this morning – and took a double take.

He was right – again.

This could be extremely dangerous, if not countered with the force of John Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It seems that the Russians are still miffed at that “international humiliation – especially at the United Nations.”

Apparently, Russian submarines are able to come into our shipping lanes – unmolested. If this is the truth, then they can interfere with, or stop altogether, our shipments of oil.

In other words, disrupt our flow of oil from the Middle East.

Venezuela can play a very damaging roll, in that it is lending its country to the Russians for landing and refueling activities. Cuba is in play, as are other countries within the region.

And, according to my friend, “Obama either doesn’t have a clue – or simply does not give a shit.”

When you consider that Obama is thinking of cutting the military budget by hundreds of millions of dollars in the next few months, it is not a pretty picture that is being drawn by the present Administration.

Even Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, is saying any cuts to the military, at this juncture in time, would be catastrophic. And he is a Democrat – and not all that much of a military hawk.

I had a difficult time going back to sleep.

IN CLOSING

I will keep presenting the “news” in the tradition that it was meant to be presented.

I will not submit – nor succumb – to tirades, innuendo, slander or insults.

I WILL continue to produce this newsletter in a straightforward, honest manner.

Sorry folks, but until I see there is no further point in doing so, I will continue to persist in this endeavor.

I have to admit, I have been somewhat depressed the last few days. The choosing of Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney’s running mate simply does not make sense to me. And, yes, I know, the “true conservatives” will lambast me for saying this.

Let me be perfectly clear about what I am going to say. I HOPE I am completely wrong in my view of things, but I have to say the truth – at least how I see it.

So, before I get anymore emails condemning me of always being “down” on Republicans – and not saying anything bad about the Democrats – let me state that, there are enough conservative talking heads out there already putting down the Democrats – but few, if any, actually trying to HELP the GOP get back on its feet. I am only trying to convince the GOP to wake up – before it is too late. And, to this date, it DOES NOT seem to be working.

THE NUMBERS

Paul Ryan is from Wisconsin. Wisconsin has something like 11 electoral votes. Ohio, FLORIDA, and Virginia have more. Why Ryan? Does anybody even remember the brilliant pick for VP on the Democratic side in 1960?

THE WOMEN

Paul Ryan looks like a modern day Alfred E. Newman. Women like men who exude sex appeal, self-confidence, men that are handsome and can carry themselves well in public. If you think this is a “sexist statement” just read the recent articles on what women look for in their political candidates. Good looking and sex appeal rank in the top of all their lists. Substance and standings on issues are way down in rank.

Paul Ryan looks even more like Alfred E., when he smiles.

THE MEDIA

This really does not need to be mentioned – but they are going to tear Ryan apart. It is already happening.

THE “DEBATES”

If anybody in their right mind believes that the Biden/Ryan debates are going to make a difference, then all hope is lost.

Biden was put on the Democratic ticket for a stated purpose. He was intentionally set up as a foil. In case you don’t know the meaning, in this political sense, Biden is TOLD to say stupid things – as part of the overall DISTRACTION in this presidential election. He fills that role with aplomb. He only acts dumb. And all along, the GOP thought he was dumb. The foil is working perfectly.

In ALL presidential elections, it is the days, the hours, before the election that count. And eating them up, like the Democrats are doing, is exactly within their game plan.

Does anybody remember the “Daisy” ad just days before the 1964 presidential election?

ROMNEY AND OBAMA DEBATES

This is the one that is going to count, if in fact, the debates are even that important anymore.

Romney will look uptight, sweat a lot and stutter and stammer – while Obama will look calm, dignified, and speak in eloquent tones.

Romney will get the tough questions from an acknowledged liberal panel of interviewers.

Obama will get the lighter questions – with much fluff added for his benefit by the interviewer – and Obama will flash that “gate-mouth” smile as often as possible.

Romney will look tired and dowdy – Obama, perky and rested.

Does anybody remember the Kennedy-Nixon debates. Even back then, the “media” used “shadow shots” and unglamorous “camera angles” to portray Nixon in an almost “ghostlike” manner.

It will also happen to Romney.

THE LIE

This is the Democratic strong-point. No, I do not mean that the Republicans don’t lie. They do, too. Lying is a part of the American political landscape.

But to have your lie be accepted as truth you must be “cunning” as Niccolo Machiavelli used to counsel his young Prince.

But the Republicans simply are not good at lying. You have to have part snake-oil salesman, part Southern Baptist Bible thumping Elmer Gantry fire in your belly, and you have to be able to let yourself go – and say anything that comes into your mind.

Republicans simply are not capable of doing this – on a large scale. They usually tend to stick to facts and figures – whereas the Democrats rely heavily on rhetoric, emotion and crowd manipulation.

THE FEAR

And now we get down to the real “brass tacks” of this election.

Stop and think for a moment. What type of person is the easiest one to scare? Who is the most TARGETED demographic element in America today – by street thugs and politicians alike?

If you did not answer THE ELDERLY, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

The “old people” are going to be scared to death by the Democrats. And the elderly are going to take the bait.

What else can they do? They are in direct fire – and the Democrats are going to unload on the Republicans with every lie and deceit they can muster.

And the “Greatest Generation” will, once again, be hoodwinked into believing whatever the Democrats throw their way.

SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US?

Pretty much in the drink. The debates will not go well because the GOP candidates of today simply do not have the rhetorical skill that they had when Reagan was running for president.

And people LOVE a good talker. Ever wonder why AMERICAN GREED is such a hit on TV?Americans are always suckers for a FLIM-FLAM man. Hell, that is what made this country great!

If you don’t believe me, ask the American Indians.

So, I again, am amazed at Romney choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate. Strategically, it simply does not make sense. I have a horrible feeling that in doing so, the GOP virtually lost Florida – and with it – the presidential election of 2012.

And again, I HOPE I am completely wrong on this assumption. But, I call them as I see them, and that is how I think it is going to break down.

MY BET

I had a friend of mine long ago that I used to always bet with. It wasn’t much money, fifty or a hundred dollars on the annual upcoming World Series.

One year, his team, the Oakland A’s and the LA Dodgers ended up in the World Series. To my astonishment, he made a $500 bet in Vegas – for the Dodgers.

When I asked him why, he said the following:

“If the A’s win then I am happy because they won the Series. If the Dodgers win I am not happy, but I win $500, so I am still happy. It’s a win-win situation.”

I am betting $1000 on Obama in Vegas in September. Either way, I win.

ANOTHER NUMBERS GAME

I have touched on this point in previous editions but feel I might try again, in hopes that someone out there with more influence than me can convince the GOP to change course while there still is time left to at least salvage this upcoming presidential fiasco.

THE NUMBERS

The House of Representatives: 435 members

The Senate: 100 members

The White House: The President

The Supreme Court: Nine members

Scott Brown is close to losing his Senate seat in Massachusetts. I suggest diverting money from the Romney campaign into his coffers. He is going to need every cent he can get.

There are other candidates across the nation, both in the House and Senate that could use the millions of dollars now flowing to the Romney/Ryan losing campaign.

I suggest redirecting that cash flow into the “weak” races and hopefully retain the House and possibly take back the Senate. If that happens, then Obama will be stymied in passing a lot of his legislation.

If, by chance, the GOP actually loses the House – which is a possibility – and also does not take back the Senate – then we are in for some real trouble.

And this is THE MAIN POINT of this upcoming election – that has been COMPLETELY overshadowed by the MEDIA, THE DEMOCRATS – and even the GOP.

The Supreme Court has, at least, three members that are rapidly approaching retirement.

If the Democrats actually take back the House, retain the Senate AND the White House – then look for a liberal Supreme Court to be in charge of stipulating America’s laws for the next HALF CENTURY.

And THAT, my friends, is what this election is REALLY all about.

If that is the case, we will surely become the USE and no longer the USA.

I leave it up to you to figure out what I am referring to.

CHURCHILL QUOTE

“If you are 20 years old and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you are 40 years old and not a conservative, you have no brain.”

Seems the old guy had that one pretty well pegged. I only wish our older generation would think the same way.

LAST – AND APPARENTLY LEAST

What has bothered me no end is the two things that matter most to me – yet NO ONE is talking about it during this presidential election cycle.

Ladies and Gentlemen – our Country Is Still at WAR! TWO WARS!

Why has not ONE of these “men,” who are running for the office of the President of the United States of America, not saying a single word about our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan?

What the fuck is going on – when in a Presidential Election – no one even mentions this FACT?

Our fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, are STILL getting KILLED – and they don’t even deserve an HONORABLE MENTION?

What kind of country have we become when we are so damn SELF-ABSORBED that we have forgotten our Service Men and Women who are still in the field – fighting and dying as I write?

If that is the case, then I cringe in shame as to the treatment they will receive when they finally come home.

Talk about PTSD?

How about IDGAD syndrome?

In all honesty – does it not bother ANYBODY except me, that NOT ONE candidate has even put forth a word about them?

Could it be that since NONE of them have ever served in the United States Military – that they just don’t care? Or maybe, they just do not understand.

Where is the courage? Where is the dignity? Where are the accolades that should be heaped upon these men and women at this time in our country’s history?

For without our military – and the Veterans that have gone before them – we would not even be having this so-called election.

Speaking out against the status quo has never been easy. Over the centuries people have been slurred, slandered, stabbed, shot, murdered – and crucified.

Ever since I began my campaign for office in 2004, up to this very AMERICAN TELEGRAPH post today, people are still taking pot shots.

I am not complaining. It is part of the job – and, quite frankly, somebody has to do it – or else nothing would get done.

Patience is the glutton of time.

From the start, I have been accused of trying to get somewhere “too fast.” I was advised by the then “leader” of the GOP in Whatcom County, in 2004, to run for precinct officer and start “at the bottom” when I ran for Congress – my first try for political office. I lost, but not by much.

But I am not here to rehash the past.

What I want to say today may insult, infuriate and simply piss off a lot of, otherwise, well-meaning people.

Since my last newsletter was sent out I have gotten a load of PRIVATE emails that accused me of “giving up” and being a secret “libtoid.” And let’s not forget the, “dyed-in the wool Socialist.”

All are rather funny when you consider my real record – but THAT is the point I want to address today.

What I write and what is inferred are many times not the same.

So today, I intend to try and set the record straight with regard to my thinking as to what is going to take place for the rest of this year – and why.

Please be forewarned – this is not a rant. I have never liked that nonsensical, politically correct term. Seems that anybody who voices an opinion nowadays is “ranting.” Pretty ignorant, if you ask me.

What I am saying is simply my “take” on the state of the nation, as I see it today.

TIME FOR THE TRUTH

Let’s go back to 2008 – and “Obama Mania.” If you look back to my newsletters then, you will notice that I predicted that John McCain would win.

I did not do this because I was “obsessed” (another overused PC term) with McCain. I just did not think that Americans were stupid enough to vote for somebody who was not even close to being properly vetted. We still don’t know that much about Obama – and probably never will.

I attributed high marks to the “common sense” of the American public. I was blinded by a faith that We the People will prevail. America simply would not be that dumb to vote for an obviously pathological liar as Barack Obama. Nobody in his right mind could believe even half of the promises that he was making.

Talk about an Elmer Gantry politician.

So, I called McCain as the one to win. And I completely blew it.

Now I understand why – and this is what I hope readers will take away from today’s newsletter.

I could not believe that “Americans” were so consummate in their stupidity. They were duped into voting for a “nobody.” And they did it with glee.

So, from that day on, I started to actually look at We the People in a totally different light.

And what I discovered, frightened me to the core. Remember, this was in 2008.

In a thumbnail sketch, these are just a few of the mainstream trends that I saw.

First off, everybody had tattoos. Not just one USMC tat, or the “Mom” tattoo of yesteryear.

These people had tattoos all over their bodies. I mean, it was like they fell asleep under the needle and the tattoo artist had a blank canvas and went completely nuts.

I just saw some joker just the other day with a picture of Johnny Cash tattooed all across his neck. I am not kidding. I also love Johnny Cash – but not to that degree.

So, I got to thinking. Those tattoos cost a lot of money. So how come we are in such a down economy and virtually everybody has tattoos.

Once everybody is saying the same thing – nobody is saying anything.

But not only did everybody have them – but so did almost every homeless person I have come into contact with – and that is a lot here in the capital of California.

How come homeless people can afford tattoos?

So I began to consider this. Maybe We the People are not all that smart anymore.

Our children now rank 26th in English comprehension – and 28th in mathematical ability, out of the “advanced nations” of the world.

But tattoos aside, let’s take smoking. Cigarettes are an astounding $5.00 per pack.

That is insane – but a lot of people are still smoking. Again, I have never met, nor encountered, a homeless man who was not smoking – or smelled like he just came out of a smoker room.

Then we have the cell phone phenomenon. Everybody in California drives – and talks – on their cell phone at the same time. We are all SO important nowadays. Self-centered is more like it.

But the conversations on the cell phones are simply incredible. I was shopping the other day and the lady in front of me was telling her friend what she was buying in the store.

And she was fat. No, not fat. Obese.

Yet, in her cart were Fritos, two bags of potato chips, Twinkies, two loaves of white bread, and the proverbial case of Diet Coke.

Looking around the market, I noticed that almost everybody was horribly FAT – and the stuff they were buying was pretty much the same garbage. It is now estimated that 75% of Americans are either overweight – or obese.

Going out to my car I was panhandled twice – by white men – with tattoos and cell phones! I just walked by them – and was taunted with, “Well, you have a nice day.”

And then there are the TV advertisements. If you actually count them, you will discover that a clear MAJORITY of the ads on TV are DRUG related.

Drugs for this – and drugs for that. Drugs for everything – and drugs for nothing.

But the drug disclaimers are what really astound me. Taking certain drugs (passed by the food and drug administration) can cause, severe headaches, depression, heart attack, stroke and other “side effects.”

“If, in doubt, consult your physician.”

Who, in their right mind, would take such an array of drugs with such dire warnings.

Apparently, a lot of stupid American people do exactly that.

When I had my physical a few months back, my VA doctor asked what prescription drugs I was taking. When I said none, she restated her question. When I told her again, she couldn’t believe it. “Everybody takes drugs nowadays,” was her shocked reply.

When she asked how I stay in such good shape, I told her that I drink red wine and eat a lot of garlic.

She just laughed.

How many people reading this newsletter today take NO prescription drugs whatsoever?

Has anybody ever heard of the drug called, SOMA?

BRASS TACKS

But I am just scratching the surface. Now let’s get down to brass tacks.

Our Congress – House of Representatives and Senate – are some of the most crooked individuals on the planet.

If you take each individual person – and do a complete background check – you find that most have had serious run-ins with the law, or have had problems with “personal finances” or other such “indiscretions,” yet, they are elected – time and again – back into their respective positions. Approximately 90% of incumbents are re-elected to office.

Now, let’s look at our highways. A total and complete disaster. I have lived in a number of countries in my life – notice I said lived in, not “visited.” There is a huge difference.

The roads, streets and highways in America are substandard to Third World Country standards, as based on our GDP.

I remember, while riding through Tennessee with a Vietnam veteran friend of mine, on our way to Washington, D.C., to visit the Vietnam Memorial. We spotted a sign on the back of a tractor-trailer. It simply read:

Politicians – fix the roads.

Another point to consider is the housing bubble. I dare readers to look at it with completely honest eyes.

If the housing bubble would have kept going – nobody would have been crying in their beer about being ripped off by the banks, victims of unethical loan practices, or bitching about having their home go up 50% in value in six months.

But the dumbbells that went in way over their heads got caught with their pants down – and lost their shirts in the process.

So, whose fault was that? The buyers THOUGHT they were going to get rich quick – but they gambled, and lost.

So came the big cry out of being manipulated by Wall Street Banks. I don’t recall ONE person complaining that a gun was held to their head and forced to sign loan documents. They did it freely and willingly – for the sake of simple GREED.

In other words, they were just plain stupid.

When greed overtakes need – you bleed.

SO, WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS?

The point is, I have had a lot of readers write privately – as stated above – with reference to the upcoming LANDSLIDE that Romney is somehow going to pull off.

If these people are watching ALL NEWS CHANNELS – then they would come away with a completely different trend of thinking.

I FORCE myself to watch, The Ed Show, Rachael Maddow, Chris Matthews, CNN, and all the rest of the mainstream media. I also watch FOX News.

I still believe that FOX News is the most balanced one on TV – and YES, I think it is skewed to the right.

But, my point is, FOX News in not the ONLY news I watch.

And this is where the crux lies.

Most people who ONLY watch FOX tell me that they “just can’t stand the other news programs” and therefore refuse to watch them.

Well, folks – that is a HUGE mistake.

I know very informed people who tell me every time Obama comes on TV to give a speech – they simple turn to another channel.

So here is a terrific HINT that I learned while still in university – and studying speech communication – as my minor to my political science degree.

TURN DOWN THE SOUND OF THE PERSON WHO IS SPEAKING.

Then, concentrate on the speaker’s body movements and gestures as he is speaking.

But, MORE IMPORTANTLY, concentrate on the audience and how they are influenced.

I implore every reader to do this one simple task.

The next time Obama comes on to give a speech, watch how he works the crowd with lie after lie.

But even more horrifying is to watch the crowd’s reaction. They are constantly nodding in approval, agreeing with everything he has to say – and smiling while doing so.

Now, if you really want to be blown away with the power of true oratory, please click the site below – and WATCH the reaction of the crowd.

And before anyone starts to bellyache that I am comparing Obama to Hitler – let me explain a plain truth. This Hitler speech has been used in the best of speech classes, around the WORLD – simply because it shows the methodology of the speaker.

He is slow to start. Then builds and builds into his crescendo – like a classical concert of sorts.

One thing that always used to startle my speech students in Japan was the effect Hitler had on the German people – at that time considered some of the SMARTEST people in the world.

Imagine how they would react, had they all been totally dumbed-down.

And, also notice another critical point of his power of oratory. Most people believe – after the first viewing – that the speech was totally extemporaneous – off the cuff, with no notes being read. It is only on the second viewing that one discovers that Hitler read almost all of his speech – but did it so well – that no one really noticed.

Does the teleprompter come to mind?

And did you notice the Roman columns in the background?

One reason that Obama had his records sealed was the simple fact that he took a very large number of public speaking/oratory classes – and did not want this fact to be made public – least people start to question the true nature of his message.

IN CLOSING

My main point with today’s newsletter is to encourage everyone to listen to all news channels – not just the ones you agree with.

Focus on what the speakers of BOTH parties are saying. But not only what they are saying but how they are saying it.

Then run a comparison.

Watch an Obama speech with the sound turned down and watch not only him – but the reaction of the listeners.

Then do the same thing with Romney.

You will be shocked at the difference – and THAT is what I am so alarmed about today – with relation to our nation as a group of dumbed-down, fat, crybabies who want it all NOW – yet not willing to work hard for it.

But yet, they VOTE.

So, in closing, I ask that nobody get overconfident about a Romney Landslide.

If, by some miracle, he does defeat Obama – I will be the first to issue a full mea culpa.

And I will do so with glee.

Best wishes and keep thinking positive. But even more so, keep thinking.

As predicted in previous newsletters, the economy is getting better – albeit very slowly.

Now, as for a follow-up prediction:

Obama will take the most recent “jobs report” and taut it as a sign that things are getting better. And people will believe him – as they have done, so many times in the past.

This is precisely why I said that the GOP had better NOT rely too heavily on the economy, as the basis of their entire attack on President Obama.

But to cap this off, Romney has apparently come out with an economic “plan” that is so pathetic that even Republicans are dismayed.

Why Romney’s campaign has been so underwheling has me thinking that something much more sinister is going on.

Please remember, the two basic Tenets of Politics:

Power and Money

There are no other factors in this equation. Which comes first is another debate. What is not up for discussion is the fact that these two pillars are the only ones that are really important.

THE SHOCKER

The other day I was talking to a good friend, Steve Topper, who said that he felt, The fix was in.” I told him that I thought that phrase was a good lead-in to my next newsletter. He laughed and so did I – and then forgot about it.

Well, yesterday afternoon, I got a surprise cell phone call from my old mentor. He had only a few minutes to talk – and what he said shocked the daylights out of me.

He used the exact same words that Steve had used. He positively assured me that – behind the scenes – the RNC already is conceding defeat – to the Obama Administration. He told me that people are “quietly distancing themselves” from Romney, in hopes of “securing favorable treatment from a second term under Obama – thus people going soft on his many weak points.”

When I asked him why, he sighed, and said, “You would not believe me if I told you.”

Then he simply said, “They feel that Romney does not have the gravitas to convince the voters. Obama is just too good of a communicator – and a consummate liar of the highest degree. Simply put, Romney cannot compete.

“Plus, he still does not have the backing of certain groups within the GOP. So, get ready, Larry. Obama is going to win a second term.”

After he hung up, I just shook my head. What else could I do? I knew it was over once the GOP had chosen Romney in the first place. I have written about it on numerous occasions, so I won’t bore readers with more of the same.

The question is, what to do now?

Again, as previously noted in earlier newsletters, I suggested that the GOP funnel MORE MONEY into GOP Senate campaigns – instead of pouring good money down the drain for Romney. This plea was sent out over six months ago – to no apparent avail.

Scott Brown is in an apparent dead heat with Elizabeth Warren – because certain groups don’t like his stand on “social issues” and other GOP senators are coming under the same “social” pressure.

SO WHERE DOES THE PROBLEM LIE?

I have spoken about this time and again – so you probably will not like what I have to say. But here goes anyway.

For the past three years – and even during my campaign for Congress way back in 2004 – I have been trying to tell the GOP to distance itself from the Evangelical Element. I have taken immense heat from this group of malcontents ever since.

In the interim, I have been engaging a reader, who is extreme in his “belief” of anti-homosexuals (Democratic Platform Plank) and also anti-abortion.

Up to this point, I thought he was somewhat sensible in his approach to debate and rationale.

I was totally wrong on the second point.

In our most recent email exchange he stated that, “Well, if Obama wins – so be it.”

FINALLY, I got him to admit that the Evangelical Element feels that if they cannot have their way with homosexuals and abortion – then they are WILLING TO LET OBAMA WIN!

The incredulity of this remark floored me. The ignorance in such a statement was so far beyond all common sense that I just shook my head – AGAIN!

So, now you have it, straight from one of their own. The Evangelical Element cares more for these two concepts – than they do for America. Incredible!

I have yet to encounter ONE “Evangelical” who admits that he will vote for Romney. The question of his “religion” ALWAYS comes up.

And the two “points of contention” with regard to homosexuals and anti-abortion just keep rearing their ugly heads.

And, again, as to a VERY EARLY prediction – the DISTRACTION of “same-sex marriage” is paramount in this campaign.

Yet, the same person that I have been having this running debate with – emphatically told me that “social issues” WOULD NOT be of any significant interest!

Anybody for a Chick-fil-A?

How can a person be so WRONG – and still not SEE the LIGHT?

Simply stated, it is in the DNA of the Evangelical Element. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

So, in closing, all I can say is – if Romney is defeated in the upcoming election – which I believe he will be – then the GOP should either EXPUNGE THE EVANGELICAL ELEMENT PERMANENTLY – or else it will fade into a small, historical footnote, as did the Whig Party of yonder year.

A New Republican Party is what is needed.

I will not bring this point up again.

OLYMPICS – AND THE SHAM (SHAME)

The Olympics is A SHAM of gigantic proportions.

What was originally meant to be games between the nations of the world’s amateuryouth, has turned into a spectacle of professional players supported by MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to compete against all other nations – not with all other countries.

Political rivalry has taken priority over the concept of sports itself. Instead of the Olympics being “kids competing against kids” for the fun and dignity of world unity – it has degenerated into such a spectacle of artificial extravagance that it is repugnant to even watch.

In particular, the basketball competition – which I intentionally did not watch.

I read that the “USA Team” won their latest game by a score of 156 – 73.

Their stellar opponent?

None other than the team from that powerhouse nation of – NIGERIA?

What the hell is going on at the Olympics?

And why is not Romney speaking out against this international travesty? It is a perfect platform for him to talk about. He “saved” the US Olympics in Salt Lake City. The Olympics are going on RIGHT NOW. What a great time to speak out against MONEY and DIVISIVE politics.

But Romney remains mum on the subject of professional proliferation into the “Games.”

PREDICTION: When – not if – the USA basketball team wins the gold medal – Obama will have them in the White House, laughing and joking about how they are the “greatest team ever” to play basketball in the Olympics. Mark my words, this WILL happen.

That earthquake sound you hear rumbling underground is the great Jim Thorpe turning in his grave.

That is it for now.

Have a nice weekend – and get prepared for the presidential debates. It will be very disheartening.

But, through it all, keep thinking positive.

The USA has endured the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI, the Great Depression, FDR (16 years), Pearl Harbor, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the “Middle East Wars,” Watergate, Monicagate, Jimmy Carter and 444 days, and the first term of Obama.

No one man can ever defeat this nation. Only We the People can manage to do that. Let’s HOPE that is not the case.

As of this Sunday, there are exactly 100 days left until the November 6, 2012 presidential election.

In all honesty, I think we should be thankful that Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. All things considered, and when viewed in retrospect, he has given us the first clear choice in a long time – between big government, mob rule v. small government, We The People rule.

Slowly but surely the people are starting to wake up to what the American public brought upon itself in 2008.

We are now paying for the foolishness of voting for HOPE and CHANGE with no clear idea of how to implement any of the promises that the Obama administration laid upon us.

GM is still producing garbage automobiles. Not only are they trying more ad “come-ons” to sell cars that nobody wants – they are still indebted to “we the people” for the foolish loan that the government “gave” to them. I predict, that money will never be fully repaid.

We are now trillions of dollars deeper in debt – and, as predicted, we will see QE 3, before election.

Our military is now targeted by this administration in not only cuts – but also severe rationing – of much needed healthcare for our returning veterans.

The American public education system is in shambles. Our kids rank near the bottom, when compared to other “industrialized” nations in both language and math comprehension.

The Senate has not passed a budget in three years.

Need I go on? I think you are starting to get the picture.

But, then again, I wonder. If Obama is doing so poorly – then why are his “approval ratings” so high?

I think I have stumbled on the answer. This morning I was watching CNN (I have admonished readers for not broadening their news horizons before) and found out, according to their polls, Obama has one of the highest ratings of US presidents in recent memory – OVERSEAS.

That claim sounded very odd to me, considering his constant mistakes, gaffs and blunders when in the international arena.

Then it dawned on me – like a two-by-four on the backside. PERHAPS, CNN is actually lying about these polls.

Am I to believe that the Brits like Obama – after his dismal accounting of Winston Churchill? Or his abominable display of hubris with relation to the Queen of England?

Or his dismissal of Netanyahu and the way he has treated Israel?

What about Poland and other “Eastern European” countries that were stripped of their promised defense systems to help stymie any expansion ideas that the Russians might still harbor?

Then there are the Iranian students that he turned his back on. And now, the Syrians.

Again, I could go on, but you are starting to get the picture. At least, I HOPE so.

I submit, that the polls of the major news corporations are intentionally lying to the American people – on a grand scale.

I know, a lot of readers will say, “You are just now coming to that conclusion?”

Actually, the answer is an emphatic no.

My point is, we have become such a dumbed-down nation, that the majority of Americans now believe anything that the mainstream media tells them – WITHOUT QUESTION.

If that is the truth, and if the current administration – in conjunction with the mainstream media that support it are actually in cahoots – then we are in for real trouble in November.

Remember, it is a democratic republic that we live in – so far.

That means, the person with the most votes wins at election time – according to the Electoral Vote count. At least, that is what I have been led to believe.

So, think about this for a moment. If you had a bunch of numb-nuts that can’t read or write, and can’t even make simple change at a cash register – wouldn’t you just plain LIE to them, and HOPE for the best?

That is, in a nutshell, what has been going on for the last four years.

Obama is like a child caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar.

“Barack, what on earth do you think you are doing?” scolded his mother. “I told you not to steal cookies from the cookie jar.”

To which, little Barack says, “Well, it’s not my fault. You put the cookie jar too close to the edge.”

I have never, in my life, heard such constant lies from Democrats – of every ilk. The logic and basic credibility of most of their “positions” are simply indefensible.

Yet, they continue to lie, cheat and cajole an ignorant voting populace into thinking that everything is fine and dandy.

And, as previously predicted, Obama is now touting the concept of helping students “work the system” so they do not have to repay their student loans. This is so abhorrent to the concept of responsibility that it makes me want to vomit. Yet, when you consider the stupidity level of college students nowadays, it is not all that surprising.

Some readers still get mad at me for my predictions being mostly right on target.

The truth of the matter is – this Obama administration is NOT that difficult to figure out.

They are basically crooks and criminals. Crooks and criminals lie – all the time. So much so, that they don’t even know when they are lying. It just comes naturally.

The following news clip reveals this fact in the most embarrassing example of our so-called president to date, with regard to international relations. I suggest you note the body language of the people opposite Obama, as he muddles through the same line – time and again. It is simply disgusting.

Again, that is not my point. What I am trying to get across is, the Democrats are lying so much – and so often – that you simply cannot keep track of them.

Charlie Rangel scandal. He “forgot” to pay taxes on his income. Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Resigned his post – but got re-elected.

Tim Geithner made mistakes on his tax filings – and he blames his tax software. He is still the head of the TREASURY.

What the hell is going on?

I’ll tell you. We have allowed Political Correctness to shame We The People into not saying anything.

One word against Charles Rangel – you are racist. NOT TRUE.

One word against Obama – you are racist. NOT TRUE.

One word against Geithner – you are a right-wing nutto. NOT TRUE.

The man who tried to kill Gabrielle Giffords was a Tea Party Activist. NOT TRUE.

The man who shot up the theater in Colorado was a Tea Party Activist. NOT TRUE.

Are we seeing a full-fledged pattern here? I think so.

SO, WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

Just this.

“The best form of defense is attack.” – Carl von Clausewitz –

Romney is constantly playing catch-up – and TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Remember, only 100 days remain.

Here is what I would say, if I were Romney.

Off-shore Bank Accounts:

If the tax system in America was fair, I would have no need to put money in off-shore accounts. Every person that can afford it, puts their money off-shore. The American tax system is so inept and incomprehensible that even Charles Rangel and Tim Geithner can’t understand it. And neither do I. If I am elected, I would abolish the IRS and the immediately investigate the FED.

Bain Capital:

Yes, I helped to run Bain Capital – and damn proud of it. Look at the thousands of jobs it created. Of course, some people had to be laid off – to make the remaining companies STRONGER and MORE COMPETITIVE. THAT is the concept of Capitalism. That is why the company was called Bain CAPITAL. Only a stupid businessman – or a person with ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS COMPREHENSION – would think otherwise.

Mrs, Romney riding horses:

Of course, she likes to ride horses. The history of our COUNTRY revolves around horses. They were instrumental in the development of America – not to mention, the World! Has anyone ever heard of the concept of good, common horse sense? For crying out loud, Ronald Reagan loved to ride horses – and I didn’t hear anybody chide him for that. Besides, what about the way we actually measure the strength of an automobile engine – by horsepower! Anybody who doesn’t love horses is just plain dumb.

Again, I hope you are starting to get the picture. I could go on – and on – as to how Romney should be running his campaign, but it would serve no further purpose.

The POINT is, the Democrats pump out a lie – and then Romney responds by trying to placate the lie.

Instead, he should jump right into the lie and knock its lights out. Quit pussy-footing around and kick the shit out of every lie they throw his way. But, alas, I am afraid that is not going to happen. And that is what still bothers me.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT

For those of you who have been following this “assault” on our Second Amendment, this newS clip will be like music to your ears.

Again, thanks to reader, Thomas Towne, licensed general contractor who still works for a living at age 70, for forwarding this website, too:

KOREAN WAR VETERANS – NOT FORGOTTEN!

Korea was our first Politically Correct war – and we came up with a draw.

Vietnam was our second Politically Correct war – and we “lost.” Not really, but that is what the main-stream media likes to say.

Even the way these two WARS are referred to, in the mainstream media, is a lie.

They both have been characterized as CONFLICTS. Not wars. Talk about a lie! Yes, I am fully aware that only Congress can declare war, but let’s not get that technical.

Please remember, the Korean veterans were a prelude to Vietnam veterans.

A fact, little known to most Americans, is that there was never even a Korean War Memorial, until after the Vietnam Wall was built. THAT is how much Korean War veterans were disregarded when they came back.

One Korean War veteran once thanked me for going to Vietnam. When I asked him why he thanked me, he said:

“I was in the 1st Cavalry. We lost our colors in Korea. The Horse we did not ride, the Line we did not cross, and the Color was the reason why. You boys won our colors back for us. That is why I said thank you.”

So today, I would like to say THANK YOU back to all Korean WAR veterans. Friday went relatively unnoticed by America.

It marked the 59th anniversary of the Korean War. I salute all Korean War veterans for their love of country, sacrifice and dedication to duty.

Thank you all for your service to the United States of America.

After November 6th, let’s HOPE we have elected a president who, once again, respects and admires, our members of the United States military.

This time, I am going to say a few things that will rile a lot of Republicans.

But, let’s take a step back in time. Lincoln freed the slaves – and he was Republican. Most of the freed slaves considered Lincoln their “savior” and became Republicans.

It was not until the Democrats started to make Americans of African Ancestry believe that they would “take care of them” – whereas the Republicans demanded that they work – by pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.

Through a conjured up psychological twist of “facts” the Democrats convinced most black Americans that the Democratic party would “help them” more than the Republicans.

The society of Black America took the bait.

Yet, in 1965, President Johnson had to enlist the help of the Republican Party to get the CIVIL RIGHTS BILL passed. This little known fact is NOT taught in our Public Education System.

The Democrats actually despised Americans of African Ancestry. George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Senator Robert Byrd (past KKK senior member, elected in perpetuity by his Democratic constituency).

Since blacks have adhered to the Democratic lie – they have continued to live in poverty – Watts and South Central L.A., for starters. The ultimate slums, since I was a kid – 50 years ago!

But let’s not bring up such embarrassing points regarding the “Democratic” party.

It is time to get straight to the point.

Whatever you may think, Colin Powell would have made a GREAT first American of African Ancestry President of the United States. And he would have been Republican.

But the GOP turned on him – and General Powell, in turn – endorsed our current “president.”

The GOP had the opportunity to choose Condoleezza Rice as vice president – and the GOP turned on her. Not “conservative” enough.

So the Democrats picked Obama, played the race card to the hilt – and we end up with one of the most disastrous presidencies of all time.

Now we have one of the GREAT MEN of our generation – highly intelligent, formidably articulate, with the courage of a true warrior.

And the GOP is not even interested.

So, I ask. Is the GOP – currently controlled by the ultra-right conservative “Christian Block” – actually racist in its approach to choosing its leaders?

ALLEN WEST SHOULD BE THE VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE to run with Mitt Romney.

So, why is he not EVEN considered?

I submit, that the current Status Quo Republicans are – in secret – CLOSET RACISTS.

Sorry folks, but that is how I see it.

RACE CARD – FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DECK

OK, stupids! We are dealing with the group that originated from Chicago – and brought up and nurtured by none other than, Al Capone.

So the Democrats picked Obama, played the race card to the hilt – and we end up with one of the most disastrous presidencies of all time. But wait. He is “black” so all is forgiven.

“Chicago! Chicago! My kind of Town!” – Frank Sinatra

They play down – and dirty -in Chicago.

So, why is the GOP not going with Allen West. Instead, everybody is clamoring for Marco Rubio.

Are you kidding me? Then again, think about this.

The Democrats actually don’t like – not do they want – to actually HELP the black community to pull itself out of the slums – and continue to do so, to this very day.

So they are smart enough to play the “race card” with Obama – but not to overdo it.

They go with an articulate HALF-BLACK man – and then play race as a major factor in the 2010 election.

“You don’t like Obama – so you must be racist.” End of conversation.

I cannot tell you how many times I heard that when Obama was running.

The ploy of the Democrats worked wonders. The LAST thing that ANY Liberal wants is to be branded as a racist. They would rather sell their mother than be called such a despicable name. They just can’t help it. That is the way they are.

So, they voted for Obama to PROVE their “open-mindedness.”

But, remember, Obama is HALF-WHITE, too. So, in essence, they could vote for him and STILL convince themselves that they were not voting for a REAL American of African Ancestry.

Just half way.

SO, WHAT IS THE POINT?

The point is this.

Imagine the following scenario:

You are at a restaurant talking with a group of Liberals and you opine that you really like Allen West – and wish he would run for Vice-president. (Actually, I wanted him for President, but that is entirely another story).

Back to the point.

The Liberals would automatically freak!

“That right-wing” nutto,” would spout someone in the group.

“He is crazy,” would chime in another.

Then you, as an Allen West supporter, could casually say, “I believe that you are racist.”

The whole table would explode. (Believe me, I have done this to my sheer delight).

More vitriol would emanate from that group than lava flowed from Mt. Vesuvius.

It actually happened to me. It was the most fun I have had in a long time.

After I let them blow off steam, I simply said, “After all, Allen West would be the first REAL American of African Ancestry to be nominated for the Vice-presidency.

“Racist,” they screamed in chorus. They were vehement in their collective condemnation.

Then I simply said that, “Allen West is 100% black American of African Ancestry. And that is why YOU don’t like him. Obama is half-white. Allen West is 100% PURE. Now, who is the racist?”

Then came the excuses, the floundering, the “deer-in-the-headlights” gawk that all Liberals resort to, when they are caught with their intellectual pants down.

Then I added, “What’s wrong. Don’t you like REAL Black People?”

They stuttered and stammered, like an eight-cylinder engine, firing on 6 pistons.

It was hilarious.

But my point was made – and they automatically made it for me.

So, why does the GOP NOT get this very “racist card” and shove it right back into the Democrats faces?

I submit, they themselves do not want a REAL black man that close to the presidency.

Any other observations would be kindly appreciated – via the Blog Section of the AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.

ONWARD AND DOWNWARD

Bernanke will be forced to implement another stimulus – either some sort of “monetary easing” to juice the economy or an all out QE 3 – before the November election.

There will be trouble in the Middle East – and Obama will take FULL CREDIT for the outcome. And it will turn out in HIS favor. He will either make it appear that Putin “backs down” (to be repaid later) or Obama will move in to “aid” the Syrian rebels – when he is certain that they will emerge victorious. Exactly like his idol, Joseph Stalin, declaring war on Japan – on August 9, 1945.

Hiroshima, August 6. Nagasaki, August 9. Extremely dangerous move on Stalin’s part. (That is a cynical joke for all you Liberal readers).

Gasoline will be around $3 per gallon in October.

Obama will keep touting the class warfare mantra – and the Republicans will still be trying to convince voters that they are not the party of the rich – with little success.

Credit goes to Frank Champagne – a published author and true expert on tax affairs.

PREDICTION: If the GOP does not pick someone with the courage and stamina that Allen West already possesses, then it will be Four More Years of Obama.

ONE CAVAET: If the GOP cannot band together, massage Sarah Palin’s “stupid” ego, bring Rubio, Christie, Jeb Bush, and other real “barn-burners” to the fore at the GOP Convention – then we are doomed.

The last thing the GOP needs now is another, ultra-right wing “whine-out” and simply sit at home and not vote.

If the SILENT MAJORITY actually steps up, then maybe Romney has a chance.

But if there is more in-fighting over abortion and gay marriage then we are simply sunk.

GROW UP – GOP.

Pick Allen West – and march into the White House victorious – in January 2013!

Keep thinking positive – and remember to use your cursor to view all the sites to the right of the AMERICAN TELEGRAPH. Just point your clicker on your choice of sites, and click. It will come up – and you can keep yourself better informed – all FOR FREE.

May I suggest that you check out THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (Charles Payne) and UNFILTERED NEWS (G. Edward Griffin) for some interesting news and commentary.

And last, but never least, an inspiration from Europe, submitted by reader, Doc Dolan. This should put all music lovers into the spirit of the weekend. Simply beautiful:

“Charlatans feed on the impoverished like carrions on a bloated carcass.”

As I sat, listening to Obama talk about how the government has made it possible for people to be successful, I noticed that my mouth had fallen agape.

It was the same reaction when I listened to Rachel Maddow, while standing in front of Hoover Dam, proclaim that “the government built this.”

Folks, the government has not built a damn thing since the inception of time.

Apparently Ms. Maddow has never heard of Bechtel Construction Company, a privately owned and operated behemoth, that builds large-scale construction projects around the world.

“The arrogance of ignorance is appalling.”

Notice the key word with relation to Bechtel – privately owned and operated.

I remember, awhile back, when my oldest grandson came back from a tourist trap outside of Sacramento (also privately owned) and proclaimed how much fun he had. When I asked him how much it cost to go there, he happily responded, “It was free. The school paid for it.”

At the age of nine years old, this misconception can be forgiven. But when it metastasizes into adulthood, then something is radically wrong.

I repeat, the government has not built a damn thing since the inception of time.

In all cases, it was WE THE PEOPLE who did the “heavy lifting.”

All government does is appropriate the money (impose taxes) and then distribute the money to be spent on public projects – usually referred to as “infrastructure.”

There is NO Government Construction Company.

If it were not for two essential elements of society, government would not exist at all:

1. WE THE PEOPLE

2. TAXES

It is as simple as that.

So the next time you hear some imbecile declare that the “government built this” ask them if they know what Bechtel means. I guarantee you will get nothing but a blank stare.

“Institutionalized ignorance is the most damning stupidity of all.”

ITCHING FOR A FIGHT

I am getting more and more nervous about my prediction awhile back about an international conflict, possibly with Iran, as a way for President Obama to solidify the country behind him, just before election day. We are heading very quickly in that direction.

But now, thanks to Obama’s ill-conceived notion of showing weakness in the international arena, where he is despised by friend and foe alike, we have more than just one country to be concerned about.

No longer is it “just” Iran, but Syria, Iraq (again), Pakistan, Egypt, Afghanistan (again) and other countries within that region.

The problem with Egypt raises the most concern – simply because of the Suez Canal. If that is ever threatened, it will set the whole world on fire.

But there is a wider concern with relation to this so-called “saber rattling” and that is the ever-growing power of the Military/Industrial Complex.

PLEASE, do not confuse the military with national security. They ARE NOT the same animal.

And NEVER assume that the “Industrial” part of the complex simply makes weapons. Nothing could be more naive.

The Industrial aspect relates to a wide-ranging apparatus, of which the “industrial” arm is just a part of the bigger body.

Again, this concept is not widely understood by the general public.

The banking INDUSTRY is the fox in the hen house – supported by the INSURANCE INDUSTRY – that President Eisenhower was really concerned about.

And therein lies the secret to the concept of a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.

Through the controlling of the most powerful nation on earth – the USA – by means of the FEDERAL RESERVE, in conjunction with the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE – WE THE PEOPLE – are continually held for ransom by the so-called “powers that be.”

Has it ever occurred to anybody why AIG was “saved” by the criminal bailout of 2008? AIG is the sole insurer of most of the Federal Employee Pension plans.

Stop and give that a bit of thought.

Goldman Sachs and AIG – both saved by WE THE PEOPLE’S tax dollars.

And all people associated with those two firms got huge bonuses – and to this day continue to receive tremendous salaries – again, paid by WE THE PEOPLE.

SO THE LIES WILL CONTINUE

You have heard it before – “Tell a lie over and over and the people will start to believe it to be true.”

Thus, THE GOVERNMENT can do no wrong.

And the dumbed down populace is actually starting to believe it.

Please bear in mind:

“It was the Liberal Thinker who thought up the Housing Projects.”

For once you control what the people think (public education/indoctrination system), feed them (Food Stamps), pay them (Government Unemployment Benefits), “take care of them” (Obamacare), then you OWN THEM – in perpetuity.

Thus, the continual stream of lies. One after another.

And I am NOT talking Republican or Democrat lies.

I am talking about the BIGGEST INDUSTRIAL LIE-MANUFACTURING MACHINE IN EXISTENCE TODAY – THE MASS MEDIA.

Again, go out and ask anybody that you know what the phrase “Fourth Estate” actually refers to.

OBAMA’S WATERSHED

That is where you deny what you said, come back and restate what you said in another way, then pretend you did not say what you actually said in the first place.

Make sense? Of course not – but a lie is a lie – and if told long enough the dummies in America will fall for it – again.

“History does not repeat itself; people do.”

So here we go again with the idiots in the GOP raising their “Furor” as the possibility of Condoleezza Rice even remotely being considered as a VP choice for Mitt Romney – because she does not support the outlawing of abortion.

The lame-brain Evangelical Element, if not careful, will blow this election right out of the water.

Imagine, after all of the above that I have written, these numb-skulls would decide against such a qualified person – just because of her stand on abortion.

KevinMcCarthy, California Republican Congressman from the 22nd District, and powerful leader of the GOP in California – decided against supporting Meg Whitman running for California Governor – because of her similar stance on abortion. The GOP was not totally behind Carly Fiorina for California Senator, either.

So we ended up with Jerry Brown.

Thank you, Evangelical Element members, and Congressman McCarthy.

And you wonder why the Democrats are having such a gleeful time painting the GOP as “anti-women?”

But wait. They are at it again. We hear the hue and lunatic cry of the homophobic and anti-abortion nuttos, and again that element JUST MIGHT deliver us with FOUR MORE YEARS OF OBAMA.

“Ignorance can be remedied; there is no cure for stupidity.”

With all that is ON THE LINE – the CONSERVATIVE “RIGHT WING” OF THE GOP is trying its damnedest – to lose the total essence of the United States of America – and they fail to even grasp what they are doing.

The GOP needs to win back four seats in the Senate – to help override President Obama, if he wins a second term in office.

Yet, George Allen and Scott Brown are running neck and neck with their Democrat rivals – simply because they are “not Conservative enough” for the Evangelical Element of the GOP.

It is this kind of ass-backward thinking that gave us President Obama in the first place.

Remember a guy by the name of John McCain? The Conservative Right did not like him – so we now have Obama.

Does not that logic strike anybody as totally insane?

So, in closing, I would like to invite all readers – especially the Evangelical Element of the GOP -to view the below youtube clip – and see what you think.

Yes, it is cut and edited. Purportedly, this is the video that FOX News was going to show but was strong-armed into not airing it. I asked the woman who sent it to me if I could mention her name here in THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH. She never answered back.

“By far, courage is the rarest of all commodities.”

PREDICTION UPDATES

Rob Portman will be Romney’s VP pick

Gas will be close to $3.00 per gallon by election day

There will be a QE 3 before November

There will be military conflict in the Middle East in October – or earlier

And if the “Silent Majority” remains silent – Obama will be re-elected in November

Wake up, America!

Before it is too late.

Until next time, keep thinking positive.

Best wishes,

THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH

PS – This video is just in from a friend of mine living in Panama. I leave you to be the judge as to its truth and general meaning.

For the last two weeks I have been trying to sort out a lot of political maneuvering that has been going on. I have finally come up with a few insights that I thought I would try to explain – and see what kind of response I get.

In all honesty, WE THE PEOPLE, have been taught an extremely vital lesson in not only the fragility of our United States Constitution – but also how our LACKADAISICAL and SELF-CENTEREDNESS can actually destroy this Democratic Republic that our Founding Fathers fought so hard to give us, almost 250 years ago.

We – along with our “representatives” – became nonchalant about our state of affairs – not only here in America – but throughout the world.

We became deluded with the acquisition of money – the Tech bubble, The Housing bubble, The Economic Meltdown of 2008, the Current Debt Drisis – and a whole lot of other scandals and illegal activities too numerous to name.

If you want to look at a real SHAME of an amendment to our US Constitution, I suggest that EVERYONE read the 27th Amendment. After reading it, do your homework – and find out who voted for the amendment. Notice how fast it was adopted as an amendment. And how, virtually NO resistance was lodged against it. WE were too busy making money – and forgetting about our own civic responsibilities to even care.

EVERY member of the full Congress should be asked this very simple question:

Did you vote yes or no (yea or nay) regarding the passage of the 27th Amendment?

This is a YES / NO question.

If they voted YES – then run them out of office.

If they voted NO – vote for them again.

If they “had nothing to do with the vote” then ask if they would be willing to fully repeal the 27th Amendment?

Yes or No.

Get candidates in office who are in favor of repealing the 27th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

I know this sounds trivial. But in all honesty, it is a GREAT beginning – to cull from the government, all representatives who are in favor of full monetary gain at the expense of WE THE PEOPLE.

BUT WHAT WILL YOU PUT IN ITS PLACE

Glad you asked.

DEMAND that every person you support for elected office be in favor of TERM LIMITS.

US Congressman – Two 2-year Terms – Pension of $100,000 for a maximum of four years.

US Senator – Two 4-year Terms (not 6 years) – Pension of $150,000 for a maximum of eight years.

If term limits are good for the President and Vice-president, then term limits are in order for ALL members of Congress.

And as for the President and Vice-president, the same calculations should be applied.

EXAMPLE: If a Congressman is elected for a period of two years, and then loses his reelection bid, he is entitled to 2 years pension compensation. Nothing after that.

If he is reelected for two more years, then he is entitled to a pension of $100,000 for a period of four years. Nothing after that.

This same formula would also be applied to the Senate.

This would automatically get rid of:

Career politicians

Endless pension “retirement” plans that go on to infinity

And finally put a stop to the “laddering” of government retirement jobs

A START

This would be a start – and a firm demonstration – to WE THE PEOPLE – that our “representatives” really intend to work for us and the United States of America – and not simply for themselves – and their grossly unfair retirement pensions – in perpetuity.

Once the “leaders” of our country exhibit their full and faithful actions to implement this VERY SIMPLE and FAIR “adjustment” to the Constitution, then we can move on to more important matters.

As stated above, I predict that Barack Obama, will go down as a watershed in American history – in that he showed just how far down a country can go, when it does not maintain a constant – and persistent – vigil against usurpers and devious charlatans – such as the man, and the administration – that currently occupy the White House. And many members of Congress, to boot – on BOTH sides of the “aisle!”

Barack Obama has shown the American people what actually happens to a country when we allow such criminal elements to infiltrate our democratic form of government – while feeding our own greed and corruption to “get while the getting is good.”

PLEASE, do not misinterpret what I am saying.

This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an AMERICAN issue.

Barack Obama has outdone all of the past presidents, when it comes to intentionally trying to destroy America.

Even Presidents Nixon, Clinton, and Carter were NEVER this overtly vile and corrupt. And we are just now seeing the tip of the “Chicago Mob Iceberg.”

AS PREDICTED – RACE!

Long ago, I predicted that race would play a vital part in the election of Obama in 2008. I was chastised by friends and foes alike as being a racist. Those voices are now nowhere to be heard.

It is obvious what is going on – even to so many people who voted for Obama in 2008.

Obama – along with his political minions – are taking the GOP apart – piece by piece.

First, it was race. 95% of blacks voted for Obama in 2008. Am I to assume that race had NOTHING to do with this? But blacks are now waking up to the fact that skin color does not guarantee that the person they voted for would help them.

Let’s face it. Obama is NOT a black American. He is HALF-WHITE and HALF-BLACK. If you want to call somebody an “Oreo” he is the man that the label is most apt to have relevance.

Not so, Herman Cain, nor Allen West. And certainly not Condoleezza Rice! All of whom have been called, “Uncle Tom,” “Oreo,” “House Slave,” and so on – by the Liberal Left.

But Obama was “white enough” to be accepted by the Liberal Media, who backed their “Chosen One” to the hilt. Only one problem. His Left leaning tendencies are now turning off the “black community.”

But they STILL will vote for Obama, along PURELY racial lines. They simply cannot help themselves.

So the “black vote” is lost.

Obama has intentionally allowed “illegals” to enter America and has ACTIVELY encouraged them to come in, take advantage of our total “good-nature” and run our Welfare System into near bankruptcy, here in the State of California.

So the “Latino vote” is lost.

Please do not delude yourself into thinking that a Rubio addition would help Romney’s case one iota. It would not. Rubio is Cuban – not Mexican. There is a BIG difference. And, from people I have talked to, Rubio is considered to be a “sellout” to the “white” Republican Party.

So the “Latino” vote is lost.

Obama then decided to divide the “enemy” even further by proposing that student loan rates not be raised. And, the majority of American college students, praised Obama for “helping them” to achieve their educational goals.

So the “student vote” is lost.

Obama then tried to demonize the GOP with regard to women – and has been successful to a somewhat lesser degree.

But the biggest coup of all has been Obama’s persistent pounding on the 1% v. the 99%.

This is PURE Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro philosophy.

And the basic structure of education has been so dumbed-down that the “students,” along with the majority of people “polled,” feel that the “rich” have too much – and the rest of “us” have too little.

BUT wait.

Suddenly, Americans are saying that maybe the rich should not be the target of all the hatred and animosity that they are receiving. It seems that polls now show that the rich, if they worked for their money honestly, deserve to receive their just rewards.

THAT is the AMERICAN DREAM.

Where the difference lies is in the MISCALCULATION of Barack Obama, in that the American people are now starting to see that TENS OF MILLIONS of GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES have ransacked the public coffers all over the United States of America.

Bear in mind, private entrepenurs are making their own money – and spending their own money. Most people do not have a problem with this.

Where the trouble lies is when public “officials” are taking our money – and spending it to inflate their own salaries – and exorbitant retirement packages.

Don’t get me wrong. Government workers should have ONE retirement package to help them in their “declining” years.

But those retirement packages MUST be in line with the rest of WE THE PEOPLE – or sooner or later – WE THE PEOPLE will say, “Enough is enough,” and either become TOTALLY MOBILIZED – or in a “worst” case scenario, auger on the side of a SECOND REVOLUTION.

So far, we have not come to that point in history. Time will tell if this prediction is right or wrong.

SO WHAT ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE?

This is the point that NOBODY really wants to address – the white voter.

And the Christian voter.

The Independent, Moderate and Libertarian voter is also apparent in this mix.

But, the fear of being called a racist, is holding most people back from saying what I am about to say.

In recent history, there was a man by the name of George Wallace, who was a white racist and ran for president. He made a statement that I will never forget.

“Strange things happen to a man when he goes inside the polling booth – and closes the curtain behind him.”

When asked what he meant, he simply said that a lot of people will vote because of their race. Everybody laughed at Wallace. In the finally tally, Wallace had amassed 10% of the national “white” vote – and the nation was shocked!

Whether this was a racist vote or not is still debatable. The point is, Wallace hit upon an ugly vein in America – and he predicted that many people would vote in his favor.

Fast forward to 2012 – and then remember back to when another politician by the name of Richard Nixon predicted that a great “Silent Majority” would rise up and sweep him into office.

The media laughed – and Richard Nixon was elected president.

I AM NOT here to praise either Wallace or Nixon.

I am simply trying to point out HUMAN NATURE – and its effects on history.

President Obama is the one who has called out the CLASS WARFARE card – and buttressed it up with the RACE CARD, and also to a certain extent the “gender” card.

But, in my conversations of recent weeks, there is a quietly growing sentiment, that the SILENT MAJORITY could “rise again” and turn up in quiet, dignified DROVES, turning this nation completely on its head.

Remember, the HUGE majority of this nation is WHITE and Judeo-Christian in religious nature.

White people do NOT have a monopoly on racism.

It is an element of human nature. Right or wrong is not the point here.

What matters – first and foremost – is SURVIVAL. Yet, this survival is not race-based in nature. But that is what Obama would have everyone believe.

Napoleon once said, “Revenge is like a double-edged sword – without a handle.

In essence, racism is a form of revenge.

Instead of drawing all of us together, Obama has actually driven us apart, through his race-based politics.

But he has misjudged the biggest aspect of WE THE PEOPLE – and that is the “Spirit of America.”

The American Dream.

All true Americans, no matter what race, religion, creed, color or national orgin, share this one universal AMERICAN value.

Barack Obama has completely miscalculated when he tried to pit one race, one religion, one man and one woman against each other.

Just as in the Civil War – in which slavery and racism were to be put to rest – WHITE PEOPLE stood up – and finally freed the African slaves from their cruel bondage.

Without white people, the slaves would have been held as chattel for who knows how long.

Americans, truly in their hearts, disdain racism.

But when it is forced upon them to act, then act they will.

This is not to say that white people will vote for Romney, just because he is white.

Black people are doing that with Obama.

White people are going to “quietly” come out to vote for Romney – as a statement AGAINST Barack Obama’s blatant assult on the American Spirit through his racist and divisive political tactics.

Americans despise racism – and, if I am right – will vote the biggest racist out of the White House, since Andrew Johnson.

BUT, THE GOP MIGHT BLOW IT – AGAIN!

Yes, this is always the problem.

In truth, I was sick to my stomach last week, as the GOP continued to fumble the Golden Gift handed to them by Chief Justice Roberts with regard to Obamacare.

Now, I am seeing an almost “gloating atmosphere” starting to surrounding many GOP strongholds.

Sun-Tsu once stated that when you begin to take your enemy for granted, you will lose the oncoming battle – and consequently lose the war.

I have seen this type of ignorant arrogance from the Republicans before. They gloat, prance like a barnyard peacock strutting his stuff – then get the daylights kicked out of them at the polls.

I beseech each and every reader – I humbly implore you – to do as much as you can for your Congressmen and Senators – for in these two Houses lie the future of America.

Walk precincts, knock on doors, hand out pamphlets, talk to friends and neighbors, write letters to the editor, make phone calls, go to your precinct office and lick envelopes.

GET INVOLVED – and in the process, the Silent Majority will, once again, set this country on the Right Track.

But it is up to WE THE PEOPLE – and also the GOP – not to get complacent, nor over-confident. Now is the time to hunker down, buckle up – and get ready for the ride of a political lifetime.

I have received a lot of negative comments regarding America – and its current path toward “self-destruction” from readers.

So let’s put things into perspective and look at the facts:

When the 13 Colonies finally decided to “revolt” against England, the cards were stacked against the forming of a “NEW Republic” in gigantic proportions:

1. England was the greatest military force that the world had ever known – up to that time.

2. England had the strongest – and MOST POWERFUL Army and Navy in the world. Remember, England defeated the Spanish Armada – establishing it as the Supreme World Power.

3. England had an unlimited amount of money due to its Colonial Web, spread around the World.

4. America, on the other hand, had no standing Army and no Navy.

5. America had no method of producing military armor whatsoever. Just rifles and GUNS.

6. America had no real financing – in other words, no money.

7. America had only TWO THINGS that would eventually win our Independence:

WE THE PEOPLE & THE AMERICAN DREAM

With these two “articles of faith” our Founding Fathers went on to defeat the mightiest military machine in the World, with a rag-tag, motley crew of “Minutemen,” many of whom did not even have a regular pair of shoes.

But stand up, they did. And they won against overwhelming odds.

Then the War of 1812 – again, against England. The White House itself was burned – but the Republic survived.

Depressions, border wars, the Mexican War and other conflicts – and again America came out on top.

World War I – in which we were promised we’d never enter, if we only vote for Wilson. The American People voted for Wilson in 1916 – and we were in the War to End all Wars – 1917. America was victorious.

The Great Depression of 1929 – 1941.

World War II – in which we fought on TWO FRONTS, totally unprepared – and came out victorious again.

The Korean War, The Vietnam War, The Middle East Wars, and all the wars in between – and America is still intact as the strongest Republic the world has ever known.

Then Obama – and everybody went nuts for a person who could speak with the eloquence of a prince – and the American people were deluded into thinking that he was the ONE.

And now comes the Second Coming – November 6, 2012.

For all the bellyachers and crybabies who are saying America is doomed – I say, grow up – and quit your constant bitching.

Obama can never make America fail. No one man will ever do that to America.

Not as long as WE THE PEOPLE – wake up and realize that, “we shall overcome” this malady, too.

Justice Roberts laid the onus back onto WE THE PEOPLE – and if America knows what is good for its future well-being, they will vote Obama – and his criminal ilk out of office – and hopefully, out of the country.

How many times have we all attended “self-motivational conferences” and came away thinking, “What a bunch of bullshit?”

But consider this for a moment. Have you ever attended a conference that taught you how to THINK NEGATIVE.

No, you have not.

And that is precisely my point. Thinking negative is what most people do AUTOMATICALLY. It is as natural as a dog scratching fleas.

But to think – and ACT – in a positive manner – does NOT come automatically.

And this is precisely why everybody likes to see a hero – a leader – someone who has the courage and conviction to stand up to all odds – and be victorious.

The only thing that bothers me, is that too many Americans nowadays lack what is needed to stand up and fight – and die – if need be, for the sake of America and the future of this country.

I doubt that many nowadays would be able to face what our Founding Fathers – and our Forefathers – had to endure in the Defense of Freedom.

I hope I am wrong in this assumption – but something keeps pestering me to the contrary.

THE LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN – DON’T BLOW IT

More and more people are agreeing that Justice Roberts pulled a fast one on Obama. NO ONE thought he would do what he did. I still believe history will prove him to be one of the standouts in PROFILES IN COURAGE as the years go on.

But only if Americans actually do what he put his faith in WE THE PEOPLE to do.

Simply put, WAKE UP, and smell the cordite.

The line has been drawn:

Total Government Control or Control by WE THE PEOPLE.

All otherwise, good-thinking Americans, are still not convinced that they should vote of Romney.

I am the first one to say, he is not the best candidate to carry the GOP banner. But that time is over. He IS the one and there is no way around that situation. I would have loved to see Colonel West be nominated but that is beside the point.

Whoever Romney picks – I hope Rob Portman or Allen West – we must ALL get behind the GOP – and SAVE AMERICA.

I hereby appeal to all Americans to put your dislike of the GOP aside – and especially Mitt Romney – and vote Republican. This includes all those who are thinking of voting for one of the other candidates – to “teach the GOP a lesson.” You are simply wrong, if you think a vote for the Libertarian or Independent candidate will do an ounce of good. Every vote for either of those candidates – is a vote for Obama and his band of professional criminals.

Benjamin Franklin’s words are more prescient now that ever before.

When asked by a citizen, “Mr. Franlkin, what have you given us?”

He replied, “A Republic – if you can keep it.”

IT IS UP TO WE THE PEOPLE. We may not get another chance.

ESSENTIAL HOMEWORK RELATING TO OUR FREEDOM

Thanks to Richard Bachert for the following, VERY IMPORTANT articles:

Chief Justice Roberts and Economic FascismIn upholding Obamacare, which is in fact Pelosicare, Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion. He indulged in some lawyer-like deception, as lawyers are paid to do. The law specifically says that the mandatory payment for not buying insurance is a penalty, not a tax. He determined that this penalty would be unconstitutional if it… READ MORE

New Law Will Raise Drug Prices
Most Americans are unaware that the pharmaceutical companies that are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration are required to pay for this regulation. The FDA negotiates these fees. Does this sound like a system of payoffs? It does to me. But Congress thinks it’s business as usual. Now Congress is united. The law must… READ MORE

And this one is truly a “must see” by every Senior in America. I just made an appointment with my doctor for this coming Friday to get as much taken care of as possible – before this even goes into effect.

I have to admit, when I predicted that Obamacare would be ruled constitutional, I had no idea what the vote would actually be – and who would vote which way.

But, boy, did I take a ration of garbage from a lot of readers who thought I was “as nutty as a fruitcake” for such an “OBVIOUSLY STUPID” prediction.

Making accurate predictions is not all that difficult – if you try to look at the WHOLE PICTURE – not just a part.

So goes life.

But for all of you who STILL have a hard time seeing the forest for the forest, let me explain my rational.

If you remember correctly, when Obama was addressing a joint session of Congress, early in his presidency, he made the tactical political error of calling out the Supreme Court – in public.

There has never been a President who has been disrespectful to the highest court in the land – and lived to brag about it.

Please bear in mind, the Supreme Court members are appointed for LIFE – and it is next to impossible to impeach one of the justices.

Chief Justice John Roberts did one of the most classical ream-jobs that I have ever seen. Bear in mind – Obama HATES all of the WHITE men on the court – and also Clarence (Uncle Tom) Thomas.

Although, all these men are in the highest caliber of jurisprudence – Obama is not. President Obama had to actually give up his law degree – rather than disclose secrets that are still sealed from public view.

Chief Justice John Roberts bent the president over backwards and let him have it, with both judicial barrels.

First, he said that Obamacare could not be ruled constitutional under the commerce clause – but then ruled that it could be considered constitutional as a TAX.

Double whammy to the president.

Now OBAMA is going to be FORCED to ADMIT that his healthcare debacle will actually be a tax – and mostly on middle-class working Americans. In other words, WE THE PEOPLE.

Chief Justice John Roberts very deftly painted Obama into a corner. And he did this ON PURPOSE.

Justice Roberts, according to my sources, holds Obama – and his whole administration – in the highest of disdain – and rightly so.

In ruling this way, Justice Roberts saved the Supreme Court from being labeled “political” while at the same time rescued it from the “Left” in that he ruled from the Conservative viewpoint with relation to the commerce clause.

John Roberts also knows that he handed the real choice back to WE THE PEOPLE.

It is up to US, to vote Obama out – and also take control of the Senate, in conjunction with strengthening the House even more than it already is.

Chief Justice Roberts did a masterful job of discretely handing Mitt Romney a HUGE chance at gaining the White House. And he did it in the most judicious of actions. I predict that his last minute maneuver will be studied in law schools and political science classes for years to come.

WHAT NOW?

A lot of Republicans were screaming and yelling just after the decision. But that will get us nowhere.

Justice Roberts gave the Republicans an incredible advantage at winning back the White House – if the GOP uses this opportunity wisely.

As I have stated MANY times before, the GOP (AKA dumb Republicans), who still refuse to see what is going on, are now predicting a Romney LANDSLIDE in November. How asinine is that?

It is about as asinine as stating that Obamacare was going to be automatically ruled unconstitutional.

Wake up before it is too late.

The gift of the century has been handed to the Romney campaign – on a GOLDEN Platter.

The LAST THING for anyone to do is think Romney is going to automatically win – especially in a landslide.

I have tried, many times in vain, to show that we are under a semi-tyrannical system of governmental oligarchy.

And the Chicago Mob is pulling a lot of the strings.

The money is flowing – in the billions – and this administration is printing EVEN more.

Where is Henry Paulson. What ever happened to Jon Corzine? What the hell is going on?

They have the keys to the TREASURY – and they are robbing the Country blind.

Reiteration of another past prediction: QE3 will happen before election day. And another prediction coming to pass as I write – gas will be around the $3 mark by November. (That prediction was made when gas was over $4 – and I took a real ribbing on that prediction, too).

Much of this fiat PAPER MONEY is being IMMEDIATELY exchanged for GOLD – and quickly shipped to offshore locations, in private bank accounts, throughout the world – by those in, and around, this present administration.

Anybody who does not see this, should just go back to bed and go to sleep.

The Mob is controlling the FED. And the Mob is controlling the LAW of America to boot.

Another reiteration of an earlier prediction:

Eric Holder WILL NOT lose his position as Attorney General . . .

UNLESS, the GOP takes back BOTH Senate and the White House. On civil charges – the Senate only needs 51 votes to impeach Mr. Holder. The GOP must gain an overall count of 4 more Senators to accomplish that goal.

Mark my words, the MOB, in conjunction with the White House, is going to bring down SO MUCH garbage on Romney, and other GOP candidates, that it will make what has happened up to this point look like a prep-school quiz.

Charlie Rangel just won his reelection bid. Maxine Waters is doing fine. Nancy Pelosi is still in her position of power, as is Harry Reid. And Elizabeth Warren (1/32 American Indian) is poised to beat Scott Brown in Massachusetts. This, even after, she has been “outed” as a liar and falsifier of her curriculum vita.

Ladies and Gentlemen – the Democrats “have not yet begun to fight.”

And I will reiterate another earlier prediction, of which I have a number of monetary bets riding, that Obama will win reelection in 2012 – especially if the GOP thinks, even for a second, that Romney is going to beat Obama, hands down.

I am STILL afraid that the GOP doesn’t have a clue as to what they are up against.

We have less that 130 days to RIGHT this SHIP OF STATE.

If the GOP loses this “Gift of an Opportunity” we might as well rename our country the USS Titanic.

In closing, allow me to be a little more specific.

If the GOP loses the White House – after all that Obama has done – then EVERY GOP LEADER – in every state of the Union – should be physically run out of town – and NEVER allowed to return to ANY position of political influence – FOREVER – starting with Reinhold Reince (the wimp) Priebus and Karl (the Vietnam draft dodger) Rove.

Good morning everybody. My apologies for another American Telegraph so soon, but I thought these three articles might be of interest to many of you.

I THINK they have been verified – but please check the references – and let us ALL know if any of these are not true.

I owe three readers a debt of gratitude for their heads-up action.

This, in essence, is the TRUE mission of THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH – to get news out that a lot of people simply are not aware of – news that will decidedly affect their daily lives.

PLEASE, keep thinking positive, and use this medium to “get the word out” to everyone.

The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of mankind – in that, it affords WE THE PEOPLE with a viable means of communication – something that the mainstream media is determined to derail at every turn.

Freedom of Speech belongs to WE THE PEOPLE – not just a select, elite few.

Thanks goes to Naida, Mark and Billy Joe for sending this information to me.

Please register your comments in the blog section.

On a side note you might want to keep your eye on the Supreme Court and their decision (as I write) on immigration – and THURSDAY with their decision on healthcare. Also, AG Holder and the circus that is taking place on a continuing basis, regarding gun running to Mexico – which I “re-predict” that he will get away with murder – literally!

But BEWARE – while our attention is being intentionally diverted by the mass media – articles, such as the ones below – are sneaking in, undetected under the so-called “radar.”

When I was a child I was told not to lie. It was a basic tenet that most children were held to – or else they would get their asses spanked.

Through the years, things have changed – and so have the rules that Americans – for the most part – now survive by.

Nowadays, lying is an accepted standard of communication. Everybody does it. It is no big thing – until it becomes a sickness.

America is now immersed in the sickness of lying – and once the liar is caught – he lies some more.

I witness this all the time. I go shopping and ask a clerk where a product is. They give me specific directions, look like they are well-informed, pointing to a certain location – and smile. I go to the designated area – and nothing.

I ask my mechanic what the problem is with my car, he explains what the trouble is and fixes it. The problem is still there.

My AT&T provider told me my monthly bill would be a certain amount. Every month it went up. I called and complained. They promised to fix it. The bill kept going up. I cancelled and went with Comcast. Now Comcast is doing the same thing. And the reception is even worse than AT&T.

My grandkids, as much as I love them, are prone to lying – and then denying that they are lying.

Our representatives are liars.

But one person that strikes me as pathological in his lies is President Obama. I realize this is NOT news. Until you start to dig deeper into this national malaise– and then you begin to see how dangerous this can actually be.

Please remember the old dictum:

“If a lie is told often enough, people will start to believe it.”

The problem is, those who lie don’t like to call others on the carpet for lying – for fear of being exposed as a hypocrite themselves. So, in essence, they let the lie go – and it soon becomes the truth.

President Obama has now lied to such an extent, that many people are starting to applaud everything he says.

The danger, at least as far as I am concerned, has never been with Obama himself. What frightens me to the core are the people who voted for him in the first place.

Obama lied so much, during his first presidential campaign, that it was OBVIOUS to me he was lying. He simply made too many promises – that NOBODY could ever keep.

But so many people nowadays love a “good liar” and are willing to vote that person into office on nothing more than a plethora of GOOD LIES.

Check out television – and you can see my point in glaring reality. All the shows have their stars making up story after story – lie after lie – and getting applause and laughter for doing so.

But this kind of constant lying rubs off on people – especially the young – and naive. To put it bluntly – the dumb and stupid.

Yet, these are the very same people that James Madison was so afraid of when he questioned the concept of “bully democracy” in which the majority of voters could override the rights of the minority voters.

If the public is dumbed down enough to believe the lies, and if the lies are told often enough – then the liars are going to eventually win. What follows has no bearing on the matter – because gaining power was the main goal in, and of, itself.

I hope I am not getting too “deep” with this observation.

A LITTLE TEST

To prove my point, here is a little test for you to try out on your friends or acquaintances.

Ask them a question, that they obviously don’t know the answer to, and then mentally record their reaction.

If they don’t know the answer they will NOT say, “I don’t know.”

For example if you ask, do you know who Octavio Paz was, they will say the following:

“That name sounds familiar.”

Of course, this is a lie. But admitting you don’t know has such a stigma attached to it nowadays, that EVERYONE lies to simply save face.

Another favorite response is:

Do you know what time the meeting starts tomorrow?

“As far as I know . . .”

Both of these, near universal responses, are a face-saving method, so as to not look dumb. But, if you know how to read these types of remarks, you can spot a liar a mile away.

Another favorite is:

Were you able to get that report done on time?

“I have just been so busy recently . . .”

This again, is a face-saving lie.

When a person has to tell you something that you don’t want to hear, or has a “no” meaning attached to it, they always begin with:

“Unfortunately . . .”

So goes the art of telling a lie so much, that nobody knows what is going on anymore.

And that leads us to the IRS being so convoluted as to be incomprehensible.

Obamacare is so full of lies and contradictions – that it is taking the Supreme Court MONTHS to figure out what everybody is saying.

Eric Holder is so full of lies that even HE does not know when he is lying.

Which leads us back to President Barack Obama.

In essence, his whole life is a lie – but HE actually believes it all to be true.

This, in a nutshell, is the definition of a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.

And that is my point of this newsletter.

Everywhere Obama goes – he is spreading one lie after another. But he lies SO WELL that people – the dumb, naive ones – WANT to believe him.

Thus, Obama has managed a HUGE power grab (votes) by invoking Presidential authority to grant certain illegals the right to remain in America – on a temporary basis.

The key word here is temporary.

Does this mean until after the election? Who knows? I certainly don’t.

But those who are affected by this move – will certainly VOTE for Obama – in HOPES of gaining something in return, at a later date.

Don’t be too surprised if this is deemed unconstitutional – after the ELECTION.

IT’S BUSH’S FAULT

As hard as it is to believe – this little chestnut is being trotted out again – and the dumb people who voted for Obama the first time around are STILL believing it – and repeating the same mantra.

“If a lie is told long enough . . . ”

It seems to me that this lie has been told for a VERY long time. Maybe six months was appropriate. A year? Perhaps, that is OK, too. But almost FOUR YEARS into Obama’s presidency? That is crazy.

But a MAJORITY of people still believe it – and that is the danger of pervasive lying. It could be the doom of WE THE PEOPLE – before we even realize it.

It all boils down to the lack of courage to just say, “That is a lie.”

How about, “You are lying.”

Or, my favorite one, “You are fucking lying out your ass.”

When was the last time you EVER heard someone say that – let alone PRINT it in a publication?

The cowards say, “You are F-ing lying out you behind.”

What the fuck is “F-ing” anyway?

If this is not hypocritical then I do not know the meaning of the word.

But if Larry Klepinger says the word “Fuck” everyone is aghast. Oh, no. He said the “F” word!

How hypocritical.

What a consummate LIE.

Joe Wilson was right. Obama is a pathological liar. Congressman Wilson called him out on the floor of Congress – in a joint session – as the “President” was speaking.

And what happened? He was censured by BOTH parties.

For telling the TRUTH!

“If you want to piss people off, tell them the truth.” Colin Powell

WHERE’S JOE?

That, my friends, is the million dollar question.

Joe Biden has disappeared. When was the last time you have seen him in public? When was the last time he has been made fun of on the “late night” circuit?

Everyone is talking about an OCTOBERSURPRISE.

I predicted that gas prices would be in the low $3 range before November. This is coming true as I write. It could possibly even get under the $3 mark. I predicted this almost a year ago – when prices were ticking up over FOUR dollars. And I took a lot of heat from people who, for the most part, can’t see beyond their noses, for making such a prediction. They were saying the price would go to $6 – and I was stupid for not seeing this.

No, gas prices being down is not the October surprise.

The October surprise will be Obama, tossing Joe Biden, for someone else. He will do this during the Democratic convention in North Carolina, if not before.

Hillary Clinton would be the logical choice. Obama would firm up his ticket with Hillary there, “standing by her man.”

Joe Biden would say he decided to “spend more time with his family” – another standard lie – and that would be the end of him.

Or Biden could employ the old ruse of a “pending health problem” and “for the good of the country” step aside for someone else.

And if Biden balked at the suggestion that he step aside – then I am sure he can be fitted with a new pair of cement boots. After all, that is the “Chicago way” of doing things.

This one move would propel Obama to a second term – in a landslide.

And it would set up Hillary – and Bill – for a run in 2016.

And who would Hillary’s running mate be? How about Bill Clinton?

He would be eligible. The Constitution prevents him from serving more than two terms – as PRESIDENT. It says nothing about serving as VICE PRESIDENT.

But, then again, by that time, the United States Constitution may just be a thing of the past, a footnote in history of a once proud REPUBLIC, finally gone mad.

Take care, and the next time you hear somebody obviously lying, call them on it.

I dare you.

THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH

JUST IN – TROUBLE IN PANAMA

There could be trouble brewing in Panama.

“It was revealed on the afternoon of June 23 that Ricardo Martinelli has petitioned the Supreme Court to remove the entire Electoral Tribunal, which of course would allow him to appoint all the replacements and control the elections in such a way as his party, which has about 15 percent public support in the wake of repeated scandals — including one in which he has been identified by Italian prosecutors as having taken bribes — can steal the next elections. Public response is likely to be impatient, angry and disruptive.”

SOURCE: Eric Jackson, for The Panama News

If this proves to be correct, President Obama is going to be put in a very precarious position, in that, he will be forced to back President Martinelli, or risk disrupting the steady flow of cargo through the Panama Canal.

I have not been able to verify this information, but Eric Jackson has been very reliable in the past with his observations and reporting with respect to Panama.

This could be a very dangerous situation if it is allowed to get out of hand.

According to highly reliable sources, I have just been informed that the international crisis that was predicted in a previous American Telegraph – which involves Israel – is now in the making.

As I have just learned, China, Russia, and Iran are moving – in tandem – to rush support to Syria. This military action includes Chinese aircraft and naval ships, Iranian ground troops and Russian helicopter gunships and Soviet Marines.

My sources have stated that this is going to be a showdown and that Obama does not have a clue as to what to do.

As also previously stated, the present American regime is held in total contempt by both China and Russia. Both of these countries feel that Obama has deliberately lied to them on several occasions and are now determined to “pay Obama back in like kind.”

Apparently, this has all the earmarks of another Cuban Missile Crisis – with one glaring exception.

Obama is NO John Kennedy.

I have been told that Israel is readying to defend itself – with or without – the aid of America.

Egypt has already given full access to Russia and China to use the Suez Canal as they see fit. In other words, they have a clear signal from Egypt to use the Suez Canal as a conduit to position military attack aircraft and ground troops directly into Syrian territory.

Apparently, this news is breaking as I write. I suggest that all readers check their TV stations and see if they can get any news on this situation.

It is said to be “very tenuous and extremely fluid” at this time.

President Obama is feeling “blindsided” by the ganging up of China and Russia by this “surprise move.”

Furthermore, he is said to be seen as dismayed as to what is taking place.

Israel is now at stake – and America is seen to be dithering – in a time of extreme crisis.

I implore all readers to try to get as much news as possible and PLEASE write your comments in the American Telegraph Blog Section, if you have something of substance to report.

CAVEAT:

I have no way to verify this news report, as it is supposed to be unfolding “behind the scenes.” It seems that the Obama administration is “making up news” that Putin and Obama are “in sync” but in reality, are miles apart – and the rift is getting wider by the hour.

If anybody can confirm what my sources have told me I would certainly appreciate it very much. Apparently, there is a major effort to keep a “tight lid” on this whole affair – especially with regard to China in the mix because of our financial obligations to that country – in hopes that everything will “blow over.”

There is a common tendency in America today to “hedge” everything that you say – for fear of “disrespecting” or hurting the feelings of other people. This “sensitivity” crap has got to stop.

So, today, I will make this Father’s Day Special newsletter, short and sweet, with pithy predictions – not opinions.

1. Europe will unload a MASSIVE bailout to keep the EU together – and a lot of the money will come directly from your pocket and mine, via the World Bank or a consortium of international banks/bankers.

2. Obama’s move – at this time – to allow children of illegal immigrants on “good standing” to remain in the USA, will garner him the “Latino” vote.

3. Americans of African ancestry will vote for Obama – no matter what.

4. Unions, from all across the nation, will vote for Obama.

5. The conservative right is so full of themselves, in thinking that Romney will beat Obama, that they are now starting to gloat over that possibility. This overconfidence will backfire big-time.

6. From the beginning I have not had my heart behind Romney. The GOP saddled the Republican Party with this man and now Republicans are forced to vote for him, or Obama will be elected for a second term.

7. With this, as a harbinger of future events, Eric Holder will NOT resign. He will stay where he is.

8. The big banks/corporations will finance – and actively back – Barack Obama – not Romney.

9. The Supreme Court WILL give the green light to Obamacare, no matter whether it is unconstitutional or not. They have been bought – and paid for – by this administration.

10. We are in the process of witnessing a COMPLETE takeover of the Federal Government by this corrupt administration – in the form of Presidential Orders – and NO ONE will dare to stand up to Obama to stop this misuse of POWER.

11. As long as this administration has the power of the IRS, to hunt down all those that DARE TO DISAGREE with Obama, justice will no longer prevail in America.

12. If Romney picks Rubio it will be a disaster for the GOP. Not only will the media blast him for a “racial” choice but the administration will make him look like a fool for doing so. I HOPE Romney is not that stupid. I predict he will pick Rob Portman, from Ohio, as his running mate.

13. Those readers who ONLY watch FOX NEWS – and nothing else – think everybody is getting the same kind of information that they are getting. Wrong! All the other stations are ATTACKING Romney on a nightly basis. If readers do not start to avail themselves to the “other” news networks, they will be sorely depressed come the morning after November 6, 2012.

14. The administration – in FULL conjunction with the Chicago Mob – is in the driver’s seat – and they are building up a MASSIVE political machine – to obliterate the GOP come election day.

15. Finally, if the GOP does not wake up VERY SOON – by fighting fire with fire (fact based political ads, GM bailout, big bank bailout, Goldman Sachs bailout, Soros infusion of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars to reelect Obama, government fraud, the decline of American power and prestige throughout the world, Obama’s grovelling before leaders of Muslim countries (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan) not to mention Russia and China, dissing our strongest allies (Germany, the UK, and Israel), UNEMPLOYMENT OVER 8%, housing foreclosures again on the rise, 40% of American wealth vanishing within the last three years – then Obama will win in a LANDSLIDE.

I have yet to see any GOP ad that hits these points in a simple – but forceful – TV presentation. Instead, they opt for flashy “talking points” that sound dull and mundane. Who the hell is running this campaign, anyway?

And has anyone noticed that there are virtually NO bumper stickers for EITHER candidate on the roads today. I have yet to see one YARD SIGN for Romney.

Why?

Americans are too afraid of retaliation from friends, family and neighbors. Americans have simply wussed out.

American MEN, in general, are like so many simpleton punks. A lot of tattooed “guys”, “dude” talking, high-fiveing, and other tidbits that display a true lack of self-confidence, are going to be the downfall of this great country – if we do not wake up – and wake up fast.

Quietly, and in true Mob tradition, this administration is dissecting the GOP – and the dumb Republicans don’t have a clue as to what is going on. They still think they are going to bury Obama in a landslide in November. How naively stupid they all are.

A NOTE OF HISTORY

One reason why history has not been pushed by the liberal education establishment is because they DO NOT want to show how tyrannies get into power.

The “educational establishment” refuses to even teach students that Mao is responsible for HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of Chinese being slaughtered – all in the name of communism.

The “educational establishment” refuses to teach about Stalin and the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of Russians that were starved to death – all in the name of communism.

The other night I was talking with a graduate student from UC Davis, and he made a statement that actually had me blinking my eyes in disbelief.

“What the hell are you so afraid of,” he asked, sipping his beer nonchalantly. “If Obama was going to become a dictator he sure is taking his sweet time about it. You act like he is going to do like Hitler did and take over the government by force.”

I could not believe my eyes – not to mention, my ears.

When I informed him that Adolph Hitler took control of Germany – the most advanced, well-educated and intellectually supreme country in all of Europe at that time – by DEMOCRATIC MEANS – he simply DID NOT believe me. He insisted that Hitler had taken over Germany by VIOLENT MEANS.

And there was no way I could convince this person otherwise. He just KNEW he was right.

And THAT, my friends, is what happens when history is DELETED from our public education system.

With Obama misusing the doctrine of a Presidential Order – to DELIBERATELY circumvent the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION – we are rapidly approaching a Tyrannic Oligarchy – the likes of which this country might never recover from.

Where are the Joe Wilson’s of the GOP? Why is everybody so SILENT at a time when everyone should be speaking up against this fraudulent administration? American men! Where are your balls?

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

On Father’s Day, I remember my dad. He was as hard as nails, no lip, no bullshit. He came through the Depression with a deep resentment toward Big Government – and instilled that belief in me.

Although he was a teacher in the LA public school system, he despised the teachers union. They kept all the useless teachers in their jobs – and promoted the worst ones into administrative positions. And he was bitching about this back in the 1950s! Talk about being ahead of his time.

Here is wishing every father, young and old – and all those in between – a Happy Father’s Day. Teach your children to work for themselves, to believe in the United States of America, to remove their baseball cap when the National Anthem is being played, to have a healthy distrust of the American government – but not WE THE PEOPLE – and always instill in your sons and daughters the concept of respect, courage in the line of fire – and a firm belief in God, family and country.

No matter what your feeling is about Bernie Sanders is, you have to admit one thing. He is a true Socialist in the purest sense of the word.

To my knowledge, he has never had a scandal associated with his name. In everything that I have seen and heard, he pretty much hits a lot of Republican/Democrat/Capitalist/Cronyism Crap right on the head.

As Jamie Dimon sits before Congress, winking at all his friends and colleagues in front of him, Bernie Sanders has just released a report – totally confirmed by reputable sources – that the “conflict of interest” between government and corporations is so deep as to be automatically criminal in nature.

If readers are still convinced that there is a difference between the Republicans and Democrats, then I suggest that you read this new report that Senator Sanders has just released. It is a real eye-opener. Scroll down – and check out the names of the monetary recipients. They are all familiar names within a very elite “monied cabal.”

Apparently, Americans are not annoyed with this type of flagrant misuse of WE THE PEOPLE’S funds.

Believe me, I am not a Bernie Sanders supporter – but when the truth is being trumpeted loud and wide – and verified by actual GOVERNMENT offices, you should have enough confidence in your own “self-esteem” to listen to what is being said.

Don’t delve on the messenger – listen to the message.

OVERCONFIDENCE KILLED THE GOOFBALL

In many of my recent discussions, I have heard that Obama is losing support, from BOTH Democrats and Republicans, who voted for him the first time around.

If this is really true, then why is it, that every time I see President Obama speaking – everybody is smiling?

One of the greatest strategies in a debate is to observe the reactions of the “receiver of the message” and NOT concentrate on the “speaker of the message.”

The next time you watch Obama give one of his speeches – look at the people around him. DO NOT watch Obama actually giving the speech.

In my last newsletter, I suggested that people are getting dumber and dumber. This is especially true of the newly graduated “college educated” people who are now entering the workplace – and promptly returning to live at home with mom and dad picking up the bill, yet again.

Why? Because they can’t find a job.

But it seems that those very same “graduates” are still leaning very hard toward President Obama.

All this, along with unions – all across America, government workers en masse and other various groups and organizations.

I have always been trying to convince readers to look at other outlets – and not just FOX News and the Wall Street Journal.

YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ENEMY IS THINKING – OR YOU WILL BE OBLITERATED.

Yet, so many of my conservative friends are “positive” that Obama will lose – in a landslide. They simply BELIEVE this is the determined outcome.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I predicted, long ago, that gas prices would be around the $3 mark come October.

I also predicted that the “employment rate” would be touted as getting better.

Both things are starting to happen.

Although the unemployment rate is actually hovering around 18% – the people who believed Obama in 2008 – are still believing him today.

It makes NO DIFFERENCE what the truth is. What matters is how many people BELIEVE THE LIE.

Joe Wilson was prescient when he screamed – in a joint session of Congress when Obama was speaking – “You lie!”

Why is it that people did not see what Joe Wilson saw?

Because they wanted to believe in what Obama was saying.

Now we see President Obama blaming everyone but taking not one ounce of blame for his failed policies and their dismal results.

But remember what I said in an earlier newsletter about the “students and young people” of today. They simply KNOW what is right. They have somehow been divinely endowed with miraculous insight – and therefore they just know – everything.

Please remember, Obama is part of this ingrained, liberal concept of SELF-ESTEEM. Even if you are the dumbest bastard on earth.

There is just one problem. When these people are confronted with the real facts of what is going on – they just talk in circles, avoid the issue – or blame somebody else.

Sad to say, I see this in my grandkids from time to time. They never admit to doing anything wrong. And they can come up with some of the most creative lies that I have ever heard.

But this is not totally their fault. It is the fault of their parents – but even more so the total public educational system is to blame.

I wrote about the ridiculous “talent show” we went to a couple of months back at my grandkids elementary school. The kids were absolutely HORRIBLE.

But the parents were even more repulsive in their fawning and preening over their little “future stars and starlets.”

If that is not CHILD ABUSE – then I do not understand the meaning of the phrase.

For to LIE to a child is the most detestable act that a parent or teacher can do.

And to imbue an attitude of FALSE SELF-ESTEEM – is simply “kicking the can” down the road for someone else to deal with in the future.

But, in the end, the kids are the ones who will have to pay the consequences. But once they realize that they are nothing but ignorant goofballs – it will be too late.

Yet, these are the ones who vote – and vote for Obama, they will.

The LAST thing a person infected with a false sense of self-esteem will do is admit that he was wrong. Once he admits he is wrong, his whole concept of “all-knowing, self-esteem” is out the window.

SO, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

If you are thinking about voting for Romney you had better wake up to a few facts.

Obama is NOT going to go down without a vicious fight.

Any person who thinks Romney is a “shoo-in” is grossly mistaken.

All the leaks, all the Holder denials (he, too, is a product of the false sense of self-esteem crowd that KNOWS it all), in conjunction with the unions – and the Chicago Mob (and believe me, they are involved) swing into action, the whole nation is going to be shaken to its core.

I predict, that before the November presidential election, someone in a very high profile position is going to either have a “heart attack” or a “stroke” or just plain be assassinated. It has happened before – and I am predicting, it will happen again.

And let’s get one thing straight right now – for the wishy-washy readers out there.

PREDICTION: A statement beforehand of a stated course of events that will occur.

I predict that someone will get killed before the 2012 presidential election.

OPINION: An idea or belief that something might take place.

I think that someone might get killed before the presidential election.

Predictions are one thing – Opinions, something entirely different.

Be on the lookout for KEY words in what people are saying. Listen intently. Don’t just wait for the other person to stop talking so you can add your two cents.

Listening is the key ingredient to being a good conversationalist.

And that means listening to ALL SIDES of the argument – not just the side you agree with.

It stands to reason, if the people who voted for Obama did so because they “just knew” he was the best choice – then I guarantee that they will vote for him again. They simply WILL NOT admit that they made a mistake. Their false sense of self-esteem simply will not allow them to do so.

“Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned.” Dick Gregory

I THINK that the Supreme Court SHOULD overturn Obamacare. But I cannot guarantee that they will. However, this is precisely where you might want to look for someone to develop an emergency “health” problem in the approaching weeks up to their final decision on this case. I believe that June 26th is the date for their decision.

We have the most corrupt, lying (thanks, Joe Wilson) administration in the history of the United States. And yet, Obama is still around the 50th percentile when it comes to those who support him.

THAT, in itself, is enough to give any common sense person pause. Is America really that stupid?

Sadly, I believe the answer is yes.

And, by the way, the answer to my last question as to how many Catholics are currently sitting on the Supreme Court.

The answer is FIVE. I do not think that is a coincidence. The reason I say this is because NONE of the readers knew the correct answer.

Now, if we had five Jews – or Mormons – on the Court, I think the whole world would have been aware of that fact.

Get involved, get educated and get off the couch. This is the most important election in our lifetimes. Don’t blow it.

Having spent a total of almost six years at San Jose State University, gaining both a BA degree in political science (minor in communication) and also an MA in education (administration and supervision) I think I have a smattering of knowledge as to what is going on in the “higher education” system of today’s America.

And also going through K-12 of the LA public school system gave me an insight into the education system of “yesteryear.”

But in between those two journeys of “proper learning” I took a slight detour in the United States Army. And there is where my real education began.

I say this because it is true. I learned to take orders. I learned to get up before dawn – and be in formation on time. I was taught basic orders, how to march, shoot, run until I could not run anymore – then ran some more. I learned to respect others, I learned that I was not the most important person in the world – I was just a part of a bigger unit – the United States Army – and the United States of America.

But the most important thing I learned in the Army was how to be an individual. I know this sounds like an oxymoron, but it is true.

Ask any veteran and he will tell you the same thing. (And yes, I could of said “he or she” will tell you, but I chose not to). I am assuming that readers of this blog are smart enough to realize that when I say “he” I am referring to BOTH genders. Readers of The American Telegraph are not that dumb.

Back to the point. Each and every soldier was taught – in all instances – when in trouble, IMPROVISE.

This means to THINK FOR YOURSELF.

And our drill instructors were ALWAYS throwing situations at us to do exactly that.

When I got out of the Army and re-entered civilian life, after 26 months and 11 days in Vietnam – the reverse cultural shock sent me into a tail-spin. I instinctively knew SOMETHING was wrong.

Those men who chose NOT to go to Vietnam had a “different take” on America. It was, somehow, a BAD country. I had many confrontations with those on the “left” – especially “instructors” – that did not agree with my trend of thinking.

Although I graduated in both my undergraduate and graduate programs with over a 3.5 GPA (long before grade inflation), I had to work for every A and B that I got.

I had one – yes, long-haired, hippy freak “professor” who insisted that we call him by his first name of “Terry ” because he wanted to be cool and “right-on.” He gave me a B as my final grade.

When I approached him, in his office, the conversation went something like this:

“I just wanted to know why I got a B in your class. I got an A on my mid-term and an A on my final, so why a B?”

“Well, I only give an A grade to academics – and you are no academic.”

End of conversation.

I did not know how to “protest” a grade – so I let it slide.

My point is – even though I had done everything I was told, read all the textbooks – and ACED both the mid-term and the final – he still gave me a B – just because he did not agree with my outlook on life. Other students, that groveled to him in class, received A grades – although two of them got a B grade on the final.

And this was in the 1970s.

Did I mention that I called him out in class on every one of his socialist rants, backed him down a number of times with simple logic, and made him look like the complete ass that he was?

He even had the audacity to live up in the mountains in a nice cabin – with one of his students – but yet preached to us that it was best to live in an urban area that was completely diverse in its ethnicity – so as to “expand your social horizons.”

Hypocrisy was oozing out of every pore in his body.

And he was not the worst of that liberal ilk.

This was in the midst of the Vietnam “conflict” and tempers were running high on university campus’ all over the nation. The hatred of veterans was at an all-time high.

Yet, I continued to press on – IMPROVISED – graduated, and moved on in life.

Over the course of years I have spoken to NOWADAYS students and have been stunned at every turn.

Instinctively, they know what life is all about. I do not mean the young, innocent naivete that all youth is impregnated with. I mean they really THINK they know what is happening in the world.

Even though they cannot tell you anything about our United States Constitution – they automatically KNOW it is wrong.

America is the EVIL EMPIRE – not Russia with Stalin’s murdering of millions, nor China with its murdering of HUNDREDS of millions.

When I point out these numbers they look at me and shrug their shoulders. They either don’t believe me or think those figures are some sort of “conservative right-wing” propaganda.

In short, today’s students are more dumbed-down, more ignorant of basic facts, more stupid than past generations – yet believe that they are the most well-informed, articulate and well-balanced people on the fact of the Earth.

In short, they all have degrees in SELF-ESTEEM – and nothing to show for it.

But what is astounding is when you meet their parents. They are even worse!

SO, WHAT ARE YOU DRIVING AT?

Simply this. America’s students nowadays are getting what I got in the 70s – only in mega doses. The liberal educational establishment is totally ruining our younger generation’s lives – and doing so on purpose.

I know this sounds like “right-wing extremism” and maybe it is. But I will leave it up to you, the readers, to decide for yourselves.

But, before I finish, I want to go a few steps further down this slippery slope we are on to a “one-world” government.

If anybody thinks that America is not an exceptional country – then just consider a few major points – albeit with the following caveats:

Yes, the United States has TWO original sins – not ONE – as students nowadays are taught.

America had slavery – and slaves – and treated the these Africans and African descendants in a shameful, horrifying un-Christian like manner, to put it mildly.

But the REAL sin was committed by our own United States Government with regard to the AMERICAN INDIAN.

The slaves were used as human labor in bondage.

The American Indians were simply hunted down and murdered, raped and pillaged to such an extent that many of their tribes are no longer in existence. American Indians were almost completely annihilated.

And, please note, I do not refer to them as Native Americans. They do NOT like that politically correct tag that the liberal left has hung them with.

The are American Indians – and proud of it.

So, our FIRST sin was against American Indians.

Our second sin was against African slaves – and their succeeding ancestors.

Another sin was against women and the “landless” peoples of the United States.

In our original constitution, Indians, blacks, women and people who did not own land, were denied the right to VOTE.

Most students do not even know that. Don’t believe me? Ask them about the people who were originally barred from voting in America, and I guarantee the answer will be “African-Americans” with a smattering even mentioning American Indians and women – and NOT ONE mentioning those people who did not actually own LAND.

THAT is my point. Because when you mention people without land – you then bring in those who were mostly white or of “caucasian” decent. And this would simply not fit into the liberal concept of America being a racist, bigoted country.

But through the ages, America has corrected its past sins – and many others that followed.

Let’s not forget that America pulled Europe back from the brink of totalitarianism, not once – but twice. And Europe is now begging the USA to, once again, come to its financial aid – to bail it out of its socialist quagmire. America is the biggest donor nation in the world.

But more than anything else, this country has given to the world, free of charge – THE AMERICAN DREAM. All you have to do is come here – and work.

There is no Russian Dream. There is no Chinese Dream. There is only the American Dream.

And THAT is what makes this country exceptional.

Few people even realize that – when another country wins its independence – the first place they look for legal guidance – and inspiration – is the United States Constitution. It is the oldest, written constitution still in use, in the world.

But students of today are not told any of this. Instead, they get a constant diet of how bad the “right-wing” is and how much they hate everybody that is not white, despise women, are the world’s worse polluters, love big business – and hate dogs.

So, if you really want to have some fun, and enlighten those around you, ask students the following questions:

What country was the first to give women the right to vote? New Zealand – not America. This means that, New Zealand also discriminated against women – not just America. Let’s not even mention the Maoris or Australia’s Aborigines. That would confuse everybody.

And still, in Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to vote – or drive cars. But let’s not tell anybody about that. The Muslims might get offended.

What was the last country to abolish slavery in the world? Mauritia in 1981. This country is reportedly 100% Muslim, so we won’t spread this around, either. Islam is, after all, a “religion” of peace, understanding and diversity. I won’t say anything here either, for fear of an Islamic religious reprisal.

What country was the last to abolish slavery in the Americas? Brazil in 1889 – not America. Most students don’t even know that Brazil even HAD slavery. Only America holds this dubious distinction – in their liberal polluted minds.

And then there is England – the “Mother Country” – that boisterously proclaimed – in 1772, that slavery in England be illegal. Then, in 1833, came the complete abolition in the rest of the British Empire.

Only one problem – England continued to BUILD SLAVE SHIPS to serve the other countries that still supported slavery. Why are students not told these facts? Because, in their polluted minds, America is the ONLY country that had established slavery.

Ask any college student – and they simply are mystified by this type of information. They “think” that America actually INVENTED slavery.

What country was the last country to give women the right to vote? Switzerland in 1975.

What American President implemented Article #9 making women’s sports on par with men’s sports – and many times referred to as a pro-woman’s bill of rights?

What American President ended the Vietnam War?

What American President gave Okinawa back to Japan?

What American President opened the door to Communist China?

Richard M. Nixon – all.

But you simply cannot find ANY student – not ONE – who knows these simple facts.

Why not?

Because they have been indoctrinated – NOT educated – by our so-called “Public Education System.”

“A good teacher does not teach students what to think; rather, he teaches them how to think.”

But please, do not take my word for it. Check out the following two sites below for factual documentation.

As a side note – how many readers actually had university veterans as professors while in college?

This second, semi-documentary – which is long, about 33 minutes – will verify what I have been trying to enlighten readers about for over 10 years. It was sent to me by an indefatigable lady who lives in Bellingham, Washington, and has the charming first name of “Naida.” To her, I owe great thanks for sending me this video.

Yet, even with this, I add a caveat:

I am Catholic, but I am not advocating this from a religious standpoint. I hope you can look beyond the religious overtones – and see what the real message is – that of continually trying to browbeat generations of Americans into believing that America is NOT exceptional – and that a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT is the correct future of this planet.

If you are REALLY concerned about the direction our country is going, I highly recommend you taking the time to watch this video – all the way to its end. I guarantee, you will be shocked.

It is not easy researching, writing, editing and publishing THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH. But thanks to Umlaut (Jeff van Loben Sels, Sacramento, California) and their handling of the total “mechanics” of this newsletter, I have been able to make it all come together.

I have, from the beginning, taken a lot of unsolicited crap from a multitude of readers – both in the blog and even more so in private emails.

That is part of the job. If you can’t stand the smell get out of the bathroom.

I have been doing this newsletter ever since I ran for Congress in 2004 (in one form or another), and have never asked for money to help with the cost of overhead. That is the way I ran my congressional campaign – not ONE CENT in campaign financing.

And I will continue to run THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH in the same manner. No cost or obligation. TOTALLY FREE SUBSCRIPTION.

In return, I would like to ask – one more time – that any reader who has something to say – please say it in the BLOG section.

THAT is the reason for this newsletter – to give readers a PLATFORM to sound off – in PUBLIC. I print what you write (mistakes and all) – ultra-minimal editing at the most.

And therein lies my request. If you have something to say – say it on the Blog. I have spent entirely too much time trying to answer questions, replying to snide remarks, and in general, holding hands with readers who do not have the backbone to write their thoughts in the open marketplace of public opinion.

Set your concepts and ideas out – in public. And see what others have to say about your position on the issues.

In other words, SHOW SOME BALLS in your concept of thinking.

WEEKEND POINTS TO PONDER

First off, I do NOT intend to curb my use of the word “prediction” simply because I am fairly good at it. It tends to piss off a lot of people. Sorry about that, but that is life.

So here is a roundup of what I see coming down the line in the months ahead, leading up to the 2012 presidential election – many of which have been “predicted” in past newsletters.

1. Gas prices will be in the $3 range and Obama will take full credit for it.

2. “Inherited” economic Armageddon but avoided catastrophe – Obama will hype this phrase to the max and take credit all the way along.

3. QE3 will happen.

4. The EU will break apart – if not fully, then in pieces – Greece, Portugal and Spain – are the main culprits. The EURO will no longer be a currency of value.

5. Double Dip Recession is going to happen – and Bush will be blamed for this, too.

6. There will be a military strike on Iran – probably in mid to late summer. Obama will take credit, thus trying to shore up the Jewish vote in America.

7. Syria is going to be in full play as to US military assistance.

8. Pakistan will break from the USA as an “ally” – and all the billions of dollars we have sent them will disappear.

9. India will slip into recession – and America will try to butress that country to counter the Russians and Chinese influence in Pakistan.

I am purposely excluding China – and its impending hard-landing – because I wrote a whole book on this subject. Reference, CHINA HOUSE, via Amazon.com, for more on what is really happening in China.

10. Egypt will fall to Muslim militants.

11. If Scott Walker wins in Wisconsin – which, I predict he WILL – then there will be riots in Madison (the capital), with the Capitol building being again taken over by radical union members.

12. Class Warfare will devolve into Class WELFAREin America.

13. Gay marriage will be in play as will abortion in the 2012 election.

14. Obamacare will be COMPLETELY thrown out – causing chaos in both the business and political arena.

15. The Silent Majority will RISE AGAIN, this time in astounding numbers – and vote for Romney.

16. If Romney picks the right VP – Nicki Haley, Rob Portman or Allen West – he will beat Obama in November.

17. The American recovery will be the first in the world to lead the way out of Obama’s disastrous economic policies – once the GOP takes over the White House.

18. The GOP will sweep the House of Representatives, the Senate and and the White House in November 2012 – if they don’t fall for any of the liberal media’s hype and baited tricks.

19. With this SUPER MAJORITY in all three branches of the government – it will then be up to the GOP to “put up, or shut up” permanently.

20. If the GOP blows it again – given the likelihood of winning all three branches of government – then a THIRD PARTY will emerge – enlisting the following:

Conservatives – both Republicans and Democrats

Independents – both Liberals and Conservatives and Moderates

Ron Paul supporters

Libertarians and other political “off-shoots”

So there you have it. A complete list of predictions. Take your pick – and if you actually have the courage and mental fortitude to make yourself “known” please feel free to write you concepts and ideas on THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH Blog. All submissions will be printed.

WHAT WILL OBAMA DO?

If a spouse cheats, that person will cheat again. Even if he or she gets caught, and promises never to repeat the offense – they are going to commit adultery again.

Politicians are political adulterers.

Kennedy, Edwards, Sanford, Clinton, The Terminator (Schwarzenegger) just to name a few.

Obama and Romney are no different.

Obama outright lies – on everything. And he will continue to do the same.

My fear with Obama is that the American people are so stupid (they elected him in 2008 on nothing but lies and empty promises) that they will vote for him again – no matter what he does.

My fear with Romney is that he has yet to take concrete stands on anything of substance. If he keeps playing his “like everybody” card – he is going to end up losing a supreme opportunity to turn Obama out in the cold in November.

But Romney has got to take a definitive stand on what to actually do once elected.

Generalizations and broad sweeping statements are not going to cut it. He has to lay out a policy – in SIMPLE, CONCRETE TERMS – as to what he intends to do, once in office.

A lot of people say, “All fine and good, “know-it-all” Larry, but what do YOU suggest he do? Be specific.”

GLAD YOU ASKED

Here are a few suggestions to take into consideration:

1. With relation to National Security (without which all other “issues” are a mute point), I would line up EVERY country in the world, that we are presently giving aid to, and see how they have voted in the UN. If these countries have voted against the United States more than 10% of the time – then cut off all aid whatsoever.

2. As for the United Nations, I would make a proposal to have it relocated someplace else in the world – preferable Africa – and let them live and deal on that continent for awhile. Maybe they will actually get something accomplished, if they live in the midst of such oppressive poverty. But before they leave, serve them with a total bill for all their parking violations within the city of New York.

As a side not, if just numbers 1 & 2 were accomplished – think how many TRILLIONS of dollars would be saved. Talk about a boost to out economy!

3. I would set out a policy of rebuilding our total highway and road infrastructure – and have it completed within 4 years. Put every able-bodied man and woman that can lift a shovel on this project.

4. I would take a 50% cut in my salary as president, and demand that every Congressman and Senator do the same. Share the pain in a real sense of the word.

5. And lastly I would abolish the IRS – and replace it with a 10% National Sales Tax on all goods and services that are bought and sold in the United States.

But this would only be done if all other tax write-offs were COMPLETELY ELIMINATED.

That means, for example:

No more mortgage write-offs

No more charitable contribution write-offs (let’s see how pious pure those “philanthropists” really are).

But yet, when race cannot be pointed to – not a damn word dare be uttered. It is just another “News” story.

A case in point:

A promising high school football player, Brian Banks, was just acquitted of rape – after spending seven years in prison on false charges.

Banks was black. But we do not know exactly what color his accuser was. Black or white – or brown or red – for that matter.

I can only assume that the girl was “of color” – whatever that means. Why? Because her race was never explicitly stated.

The media only referred to her as “Wanetta Gibson” but declined to state the color of her skin.

I venture to say that if the girl had been white – the media would have played that part up BIG TIME. So I am just guessing that the girl was black. I am willing to make that another one of my “predictions” right here in print.

Assuming that I am correct, this story will fade fairly quickly – because the “race card” cannot be played to the advantage of the liberal press, the liberal establishment, nor the upcoming November election.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT – YOU RACIST REDNECK?

Simply this.

At first, Americans of African ancestry were mainly Republicans – because Lincoln was perceived as the man who freed the slaves.

Only one problem. The Republican mantra was that “with equal opportunity you have an equal chance” – IF, you are willing to work for it.

Most blacks welcomed this challenge. Witness the hard work and perseverance of black people throughout the history of America. The successful black Americans worked their asses off to get where they are today.

Yet, during all this time, the Democrats were seeing their party decline in black voter registration.

What to do?

Start to play the race card by saying, “The Republicans are demanding that you work hard – and you will be successful.

That is racist. You are entitled to a better life – because of your slavepast.”

The Democrats went on to say, “Join the Democratic party and we will take care of you.”

And therein lies the crux of the problem – and something that the majority of black Americans still don’t seem to grasp.

The Democrats fail to point out that in most cities, controlled by Democrats, crime rates are higher than those controlled by Republicans – and Americans of African ancestry are still living in abject poverty to boot.

Just take a look at Chicago, Los Angeles, Oakland, New York – and Detroit.

Black Americans have been suckered into thinking that the Democrats will be kind, gentle and understanding to their “cause.”

Nothing could be more corrupt to this line of thinking.

In an article in the Investors Business Daily, Friday, May 25, 2012, page A 16, Walter Williams states that, “Each year, roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered. Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person.”

He goes on to say that, “According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Using the 94% figure means that 262,621 were murdered by other blacks.”

Blacks are killing blacks on a MASSIVE scale.

So why the hell is the main stream media NOT reporting this AMERICAN KILLING FIELDS?

Simply because it does not put Democrats in a good light. Once blacks really get a hold of how they have been lied to, and misled by the Liberal Democratic Party, they are going to be thoroughly pissed off.

And rightly so.

I was watching a documentary on the History Channel the other night – hosted by a British commentator – as to how North America (the USA) and South America developed in completely opposite directions.

He related it to the fact that, in America, LAND – and the relative distribution thereof – was the big difference.

In the United States, land – and its possession by individuals – was the main reason for America’s prominence.

Americans worked their OWN land – and prospered – into the richest nation in the history of the world.

On the contrary, South America was ruled – and is still governed in much the same way – by “landed” families or socialist/communist big government entities, rather than by the concept of individual liberty vested through the ownership of PRIVATE PROPERTY.

In so doing, Mexico, Central and South America are still ravaged by immense poverty.

In the television presentation – the story touched upon the “original sin” of America – that being slavery.

During a segment of the dialogue, the scenes of slavery accommodations – row upon row of red brick houses – were shown on Southern plantations.

The suddenness of reality almost knocked me off of my chair. There is a similar place in downtown Sacramento – right next to the cemetery – where row upon row of red brick community housing is located – and the majority of tenants are Americans of African ancestry.

These housing “projects” have been there for decades – and populated by SUCCEEDINGGENERATIONS of Americans of African ancestry.

They are still living in the same type of housing that they were during the slave days. And this city is the CAPITAL of California.

In essence, black people are still slaves of the Democratic party.

WHY DON’T BLACK PEOPLE WAKE UP?

Because they have been literally dumbed down by our public school system. In every instance, black youth have the worst scores – in all testing categories. This is Public Education – DOMINATED by liberal unions.

These are not my own opinions, folks. These are simple facts.

And now we have up to 50% of young black men unemployed in America.

And we wonder why so many Americans of African ancestry are incarcerated in our prison system?

The conservative thought is to work for yourself, get a better job, THINK for yourself – and get out of perpetual poverty that so many people are in. And this does not mean just black Americans.

It applies to ALL Americans in similar economic straits.

Believe it or not, the largest number of poor people in America are WHITE.

But we don’t want to talk about that, do we?

Conservatives want black Americans to help THEMSELVES. If they get good jobs, their crime rates would go down, their prison population would go down – and the overall cost would be greatly reduced.

It stands to reason that if black Americans were better able to take care of themselves they would have less one-parent families and fewer on welfare.

Black Americans would become more prosperous, able to move up the “social ladder” and become self-sufficient.

On the contrary, Liberals want to “take care of” black Americans.

That is the situation in a nutshell.

But then what would happen to our WELFARE STATE if that were allowed to happen?

I would be very interested to see statistics relating to the following two questions:

What is the percentage of Democrats versus Republicans who work for city, state and federal agencies?

What is the percentage of Democrats versus Republicans who are teachers, firemen, police officers and WELFARE workers?

But we will never find out these questions – because it would rip the heart out of the WELFARE STATE.

And that welfare state is totally in the hands of Liberal Democrats – and they will fight to the death to protect their POLITICAL POWER BASE. Not to mention their LIVELIHOOD.

And THAT, my friends, is where the real battle lies.

A side note in passing.

Has it ever occurred to anybody why President Obama keeps reiterating how he was GIVEN the opportunity to get a good education – BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Notice one gigantic flaw in his assertion. It was GIVEN to him. He did not work for it. He never has – and he never will.

It is one of the most subtle messages that he keeps on pounding home – and nobody has the courage to challenge him on this one, most basic point, of American Individualism.

Hard work is what produced this great nation of ours. And even harder work is now required to keep America FREE.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

This time of year is always a bittersweet one for me – and all other American Veterans. We are eternally indebted to those who died in defense of this great nation – a debt that can in no way ever be repaid.

Those of us who lost friends in war take this time of the year a little more seriously than most. So it is, with great pride, that I introduce you to Army Pfc. Sadao Munemori – recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor during World War II.

He was a member of the Army’s 100th Battalion/442nd Regimental Combat Team.

Pfc. Munemori died in battle on April 5, 1945, sacrificing his life for that of his fellow soldiers. He was 22 years old.

The 442nd is the most highly decorated regiment in American Military History. It was a totally Japanese-American unit.

I invite you all to look up his name on the Internet – and learn something about individual courage and love of country.

Bear in mind, his family was interned at Manzanar while he fought for America. His mother received news of her son’s death while still in that Japanese concentration camp.

There are those who choose to leave the plantation – all it takes is self-determination, the will to succeed – and courage.

I know, I am going to say something again that will anger the Evangelical Element – and those that so strictly adhere to their way of perceiving the world.

Sorry, but I told you so.

When I wrote in earlier newsletters that Homosexuals and Abortion would come into this election with a vengance – I was scoffed at by “those in the know.” Some even wondered if I had completely “lost touch with reality.”

Well, for those of you who are concerned about my mental well-being, I am feeling just fine.

It is not really all that hard to be able to predict the future; you just have to pay attention to the past.

Many in the GOP are the ones who “just don’t get it.”

And here is what I mean. Homosexuality and Abortion are THE two “issues” that the Evangelicals simply cannot keep their mouths shut over. The HAVE to foam at the mouth when these two subjects come up – because they are COMPELLED by their own belief that if they do NOT condemn these two ideas – in the most vociferous of tones – then they run the chance of NOT going to Heaven. It is as simple as that.

So my suggestion is to just keep your mouth closed if you harbor these kinds of feelings. That does NOT mean you are backing down – it just means that you are laying in wait to strike when the appropriate time presents itself.

Now, step back, and look at the situation.

Obama came out and said he backed Gay Marriage – and the TV went nuts last night.

But NOBODY ever came up with a PLAUSIBLE scenario as to why he did it now. Yes, I heard about the Joe Biden controversary – and that he had to apologize to President Obama for speaking out of turn.

“Obama actually wanted to wait until after the election to come out.”

Anybody who believes that should quit reading right now and go back to Dancing IN the Stars.

This was a set-up from the VERY beginning.

Biden takes the heat, Obama is “forced” to play his hand now and SURPRISE.

Yesterday evening the news comes out that Mitt Romney took part in a HIGH SCHOOL prank/bullying situation, involving an alleged homosexual student – and it SUDDENLY COMES TO LIGHT NOW?

Are you serious?

Did this just POP UP out of the blue?

If you believe that, turn off Dancing IN the Stars and go back to sleep.

Obama had inside information on this BEFORE he made his announcement.

But why has the Media – and not even FOX – even broached this concept?

Because nobody can think for themselves anymore.

So, as predicted, Obama brought Homosexuals into the 2o12 election. Will it work? I have no idea. But he brought it up – and that “issue” is red meat to the Evangelical Element – along with a lot of other religious groups and Conservatives to boot.

Now, get ready for Obama to bet the farm, and say he is AGAINST Roe v. Wade. Abortion will be the next card for the Organization to deal from the bottom of the deck.

My advice?

Ignore it ALL.

Stupid fish go for live bait: But the really dumb ones get snagged by the lure.

One of the biggest insults in Japan is to not say a word to the perpetrator – simply remain silent – and physically TURN YOUR BACK on that person.

So ignore their baiting. Brush it off. And quietly ride with the Silent Majority that is steadily forming a group that will surprise everyone in November.

And as a side note. Is anybody going to try to convince me that they can go back 50 YEARS – a half CENTURY, at the drop of a hat – and find ALL five people that were involved – and get them all to admit that they remember the incident?

But yet we cannot come up with Obama’s verifiable birth certificate? Nor his Harvard GPA? Nor his Harvard dissertation? Nor the reason why he relinquished his law license? Sorry, but I had to say that.

Even if it is true, about Romney taking part in this incident, then he should have just said:

“Yes, it happened – and I am deeply troubled to this day that I took part in such a stupid and senseless act. In high school, kids do some pretty stupid things – and that is one thing that I did. I sincerely apologize to all involved and ask for their forgiveness.”

How simple is that?

But no, Romney made a lame excuse that he could not recall the incident. And the MSM went wild in its glee of reporting this dumb response.

Why are people SO AFRAID to say they made a mistake? Get it out. Get it over with. And get on with the business at hand.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Besides Obama coming out in favor of same sex marriages he will come out against Roe v. Wade.

He will then come out in favor of either cutting the student loan debt – or canceling it all together – in the name of IMPROVING the ECONOMY. Don’t you think students would VOTE for that alone?

We still have Israel and Iran. But Bebe is ahead of everyone on this point. He is already positioning himself with regard to Iran – and will make a move before November.

And, as I write, MANY Jews that I have talked to are NOT going to vote for Obama this time around. Some even refer to Obama as JUDAS. Now, how is THAT for a twist of fate!

Obama is pulling out all the stops. Last night his gala party – $40,000 a plate at George Clooney’s private residence, drew in about $15 million dollars. Remember, these are ALL ONE-PERCENTERS! But that does not seem to matter – as long as they are on the side of the Liberal Establishment.

Obama will try to placate the UNIONS by FINALLY “evolving” on the KEYSTONE PIPELINE and voting IN FAVOR of it – and then TAKING FULL CREDIT FOR FINALLY SAYING YES!

Obama will say something like this:

“I have decided that I should approve this because I believe that this is the correct choice that I should make at this time. I therefore, have given my approval to this bill.”

And folks, whatever the situation is, GAS prices will be around $3 by November of 2012.

My final word of advice is, don’t dance on Obama’s gravesite just yet.

WE THE PEOPLE are dealing with an extremely well-maintained Organization – one that goes all the way back to Al Capone. Which reminds me of a little story attributed to, “The man who built Chicago.”

Once, when the “boys downtown” were giving Big Al some real heat he is said to have remarked:

“You tell them that if they keep pushing me around I will run for Mayor of Chicago – and I will win!”

The “boys downtown” let up on the Fat One – and the rest is history.

OFFSHORE INVESTMENT TO CONSIDER

For the last 20 years I have had an investment account with a very reputable brokerage house in New Zealand. It is one of the oldest – and in my opinion – the best of breed.

If you are interested in seeing what they have to offer please contact:

I am not a licensed investment advisor. Please consult with an investment professional before you invest your money. I am not liable for any losses suffered by any party because of suggestions published on this blog. Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. Unless your investments are FDIC insured, they may decline in value.

Having said all that, which is totally stupid in my opinion, I can say that Martin – and the legendary investment advisor Graeme McLeod – who preceded him – have treated me extremely well.

The company’s service and attention to detail rank at the top with me. Many of their equity investments are for the “long haul” and pay very nice dividends.

If time permits, check them out and see what they have on offer.

And remember, if you do invest with them, make sure to notify the IRS of ALL your transactions.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

As many of you know, I lost my Mother, at age 95, in March. It is a time of sadness – but also of great memories and happy recollections of all that she did for me when I was growing up.

If you are fortunate to still have your Mother around – give her a call, send her some flowers, go over and hug her – but most of all, besides telling her that you love her – remember to say, “Thank you, Mom.”

My apologies for sending another AMERICAN TELEGRAPH, and cluttering up your in-box. For that reason this “Special Edition” will be very short – but not so sweet.

I have been on the soapbox for a long time about the corruption that is coming out of the Organization that now inhabits the White House.

In an effort to shore up votes with Illegal Immigrants – it has been reported that a HUGE scam his just been “outed” by a CPA in Indiana.

Please remember, the Organization uses all sorts of tactics to garner “votes” for their own ilk. This type of scam would make Al Capone proud.

With that said, please take a look at the site below and decide for yourself. And notice, the CPA does not show his face, nor mention his name, for fear of retribution from the Organization. Thanks to reader, Wayne, for sending this to me.

If this does not convince you that we have a criminal element infesting the White House – then nothing will.

One Caveat: Since there is so much false “evidence” on the Internet, and with photoshop in full swing during this election season, I invite anybody to refute this news broadcast. If it is proven to be false – then I will issue a full apology. Not until then.

Granted, we are all living in hard times. People are out of work while others are hanging on to the job they have and hoping that, sooner or later, things will begin to get better.

There has, however, been a real uptick in scams and outright theft among people on a personal level. Not only are there shows on TV that chronicle these tricksters, Greed in America et al, they are actually living among us on a daily basis.

Last evening I was talking with a friend who loaned a family member $5,000 to help him get back on his feet after being laid off from his job. Luckily for his friend, he landed another job – but had to move to a different city to begin his employment. That was over 9 months ago – and he has not seen a dime of his money since.

He feels like he was “punked” and probably will not ever see a cent of the loan come back his way. He asked me what I thought could be done to get reimbursed for his loan.

I related to him my own situation in which I loaned $12,000 to a past real estate mentor and associate, who I thought was a friend, to help him save his home from foreclosure. Not only did his home get forclosed upon but he has since simply quit repaying the loan. As it stands today this Bellingham real estate broker still owes me approximately $8,000.

My friend wanted to know what I did about the situation. I told him of the paper trail that I had and that I had spent over a year listening to his lame excuses, one after another, until I finally gave him an ultimatum to either try to repay the outstanding debt or I would have to seek other measures.

“What do you mean by other measures?” he asked. “I don’t want to go to court over it.”

I told him that I claimed it on my 2012 IRS as a “bad loan” and submitted it for consideration as a write-off.

He was very surprised to learn that you could even do this.

I also told him that I was going to write the IRS directly and inform them of the person’s name – so they could check and see if he properly listed the $12,000 on his IRS form from two years ago. If he failed to do that then he faces an audit from the Internal Revenue Service. If found that he did not report it as income he could face a fine or imprisonment.

My friend was unaware that any of this was even possible.

Yes, it is possible. And it is not that difficult to do.

I have to mention, at this point, that I gave the man who I loaned the money to almost a year to try to repay – but he simply chose not to do so.

In time, he will be hearing from the IRS.

The reason I am writing about this is because it is not the first time I have heard stories such as this. Most people just write it off as a bad loan and go about their lives. Needless to say the perceived “friendship” is over.

In hard economic times you tend to encounter situations like this. But the times need not be tough to get “taken” by a so-called friend or family member.

So here are a few tips that I have culled from my three bad loans in my life. It seems that all three of these people had similar traits, so I thought I would list them for other people who might be considering “helping” out a friend in the future.

Here they are:

1. That Gate-mouth smile – all con artists have that “toothie” smile. Your know what I am talking about. They can smile the pearly whites, and disarm you with their charm and “sincerity.” But they are highly capable of lying through those teeth to the extent that you “want” to believe them – even if you have your doubts. We have one occupying the White House right now. A charming gate-mouth smile is hard to resist – and the con artist knows this, and exploits it to his total advantage.

2. The con artist will tell you anything to make his story more compelling. But more than this he will have an answer to every one of your questions. They know how to put on the “sad line” of how things are “just not working out right now but will get better in a couple of months” kind of story. They would lie on their mother’s grave if they knew they could get money from you.

3. This type of person can, in time, wear you down with a constant type of pleading, and in doing so can actually make you feel guilty if you don’t lend them the needed funds. I finally gave in when I had to consider if I did not loan this past “friend” of mine the money – he would lose his home to foreclosure – and, in essence, it would be my fault. The con artist has a very astute way of making you feel guilty for not loaning them money.

4. If you end up loaning the money, their repayment is always the same. The first two or three months, they pay on time. But after the third month, the excuses start to come – instead of the of money. Then the repayment amount is reduced to half the amount over a longer period of time. After a few more months of half payments – the excuses get sharper and the money simply stops.

5. The Promise – comes when they say they will repay you in full as soon as they “get back on their feet” but for the time being they can’t come up with any more payments. And that is the end of the repayment schedule – and the so-called “friendship.”

But you do not have to just “let it slide.” And this is the point for me writing this section of the newsletter.

You do have an avenue of reclaiming your funds – without the help of a lawyer. Most people cringe at the thought of retaining an attorney or going to small claims court on their own. And the con artist know this and exploits this fear with a vengeance.

But what many of them fail to understand is that you can legitimately file with the IRS and claim it as a bad loan.

If the person did not list the money as “income” then he is in deep trouble. The last thing anybody wants is for the IRS to audit their tax returns.

And if you follow up with a personal letter to the IRS stating the person’s name and the surrounding circumstances, this will really get things moving.

So, if you have ever loaned money to a friend or relative, and they refused to pay you back, then you can take this approach if all other attempts to collect it on a friendly basis have failed.

It also lends credence to a couple of maxims that I penned a few years ago:

Lend a hand – lose an arm.

Lend money to a friend – lose both in the end.

BACK TO POLITICS

The Taliban is back in Afghanistan. After Obama draws down the US Military there will be a bloodbath in that desolate country that will make the Killing Fields look like child’s play.

And the women of Afghanistan will take the brunt of the return from these maniacs. Every woman in Afghanistan will be fair game for “religious retribution” for them “aiding and abetting” the enemy.

But, of course, the Taliban will gang rape them by the thousands, and then stone them to death. Or simply shoot them with their Russian supplied AK-47s.

What will Obama do in this situation? Exactly the sme thing he has done in Syria. Nothing.

What will the staunch and upright defender of women’s rights – Hillary Clinton – do to help? Absolutely nothing.

No, this is not another prediction. I am tried of predicting the obvious – and taking heat from those simply too myopic to see what is right in front of their noses. So I will just state this as a fact and let it go at that.

When Egypt fell, I predicted that the Muslim Brotherhood would eventually get into power – and was told how racist and “anti-Islamic” I was. Well, the Brotherhood is back. And the Taliban will also be back in Afghanistan, too.

SO WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT TO US?

Simply stated, would you like to befriend America – only to see your trust be totally betrayed in the end?

We need only to see what happened in Vietnam – when America chose to cut and run.

In every instance, when America has initially gone in to help another country, and then decided to back away, a bloodbath has followed in its wake.

The only rule of war is to win. There are no other rules.

Am I advocating staying longer in Afghanistan? Certainly not. We should have never gone there in the first place. But those “in the know” decided to ignore what history was telling them, via Alexander the Great and the Russians. You cannot win a war in Afghanistan. We should have stayed out when staying out was an option.

But the temptation of billions of dollars in illicit money flows – not to mention cornering the Opium Market on the World Stage – under the veil of a war of liberation was just too lucrative to resist. So in we went.

And make no mistake about it – the Afghanistan War is Obama’s war. He is the one who bears total responsibility for sending in 60,000 extra troops – when ALL his Generals asked for double that amount.

Obama could have completely drawn down at that point – which he promised to do. Remember that Gate-mouth smile when he was running for President of the United States? The naive souls who fell for his lies are in the mood to fall for some more of his deceit and deception come this November. And, they too, will be responsible for the murder, rape and pillage – once we abandon Afghanistan. But then it will be too late.

OBAMA’S MIDDLE EAST POLICY

The American Foreign Policy in the Middle East is in a shambles. Not only does Obama not know what to do, neither do the people around him have a clue as to what is really going on. Hillary Clinton is floundering like a ruptured duck trying to take off from a languid pond. According to an LA Times article, “Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta appealed to American troops to refrain from misconduct that has complicated the war effort in Afghanistan.”

Can anybody read between the lines on this one? US Troops have complicated the war effort?

Who is going to take the blame for losing in Afghanistan?

Of course, it is the returning Veterans’ fault. It is not Panetta’s. And I guarantee Obama is not going to take the blame. So, it falls onto the Military men and women to take the brunt of the situation.

Can anybody spell Vietnam Veterans?

So here we have Syria under siege – with outright murder being committed by the Syrian Government – on their own people. They are not fighting a war. They are simply killing their own kind.

Where is Obama? Probably at another fundraiser.

Obama lost Iran when the students pleaded for his help and support. Many were jailed, tortured and never seen again as a result of Obama’s dithering.

Which leads us to Israel. I am not sure what Benjamin Netanyahu has up his sleeve by calling an election in September. It seems somewhat odd that he would do this now – unless it is an outright bluff to finally gain support for his own party. An election in September seems like not enough time to mount support and then enlist a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities – before the November Presidential Election here in America.

Unless, of course, Bebe is pulling a real “fast one” with a colossal gamble to dragl the rest of his government into line. We will have to wait and see if this is the case.

With the Americans “hemming and hawing” all through the Middle East – it is sending real worries through not only that area of the world but also Asia. And there is where the real problems are going to come to the fore.

In dealing with China – and Russia – one must deal from a position of strength. Weakness only invites antagonism from other nations. So far, President Obama has not impressed anybody in the Asian sphere of influence. He is regarded as an exceptionally weak leader – one who is more interested in getting re-elected, instead of doing the job he was supposed to do in the first place.

All in all, American Foreign Policy is in the toilet – and will remain there until there is a new tenant in the White House.

THE SILENT MAJORITY?

Remember when Richard Nixon said that a “silent majority” will propel him to the presidency?

Well, I am starting to hear a lot of rumbling about this silent majority beginning to wake up yet again.

Who is the silent majority this time around? The old folks. Those people who are starting to finally see the writing on the proverbial wall. And a lot of these old-timers who voted for Obama in 2008 – are not going to vote for him again.

They have finally started to see through his, contorted rhetoric and outright lies, and they don’t like what it portends for their declining years. If Obamacare is passed they know, now, that they are screwed.

More and more “senior citizens” are waking up to the fact that this will literally be their last chance to take a stand for them to live in relative comfort – and dignity.

And they are mobilizing – albeit very quietly.

The real secret is that the “elder generation” actually gets off their collective duff – and vote.

And therein lies one of the greatest threats to Obama’s reelection bid.

So I have a suggestion for all of you readers. I know most of you have not taken an active part in this upcoming election. Yes, everybody is busy. I have heard that one far more times than I care to admit.

But everyone can actually do something on November 6th. Try to find out elderly people who don’t vote by mail, but who actually go to the polls to cast their vote. If you know of anyone who needs a ride, offer to drive them to the voting booth.

Contact your local senior housing residences, places of worship, clubs and service organizations in your area and offer to drive them to the polls. Call friends and neighbors and see if you can give any one of them a lift.

And while you are driving them to vote, talk with them, get to know them. You might be surprised at how well-informed – and involved – those old folks really are.

After all, they are members of the Greatest Generation.

That is it for now.

Keep thinking positive, smile and never give up!

The best days for America are still ahead of us. But it is up to WE THE PEOPLE to make it happen – again.

Little Johnny stood up and said, “I am running for president of our 1st grade class because I believe it is good to learn to serve our class, school, city, state and nation.

“If I am elected president of our class I will ask for our teacher to teach us real-life subjects like how to work for ourselves, how to start a business, how to manage our money, how the stock market really works and how to save money for retirement. I think these subjects are very important for our future lives. Thank you.”

Then Lovely Kristen stood up and said, “I am running for president. If you vote for me I will make sure we all have free ice cream everyday after lunch. Thank you.”

When the votes were counted, Lovely Kristen won by a landslide.

Little Johnny then stood up and asked, “When do we start to get the ice cream?”

Lovely Kristen looked at him and said, “How should I know? I just wanted to win the election.”

“But you promised,” insisted Little Johnny.

“No, I did not promise. I said I will makesure,” retorted Lovely Kristen.

“Yeah, you said you would make sure,” screamed the other children.

“I want a re-vote,” cried one of the other students.

“No, no, no,” said the teacher. “You have already voted. You can only vote once. You should have asked how Lovely Kristen was going to pay for the ice cream before you voted. But you blindly believed what she said because she is Lovely Kristen. But now, it is too late.”

Everybody in the class started to cry – except little Johnny McCain.

THE REAL ELECTION

If you have not been watching the polls recently then shame on you. President Obama is falling into a deep hole with STUDENTS all across the country.

But Little Barack has a plan all his own. And here is another prediction from Little Larry for you all to think about.

President Obama will – at the exact right moment and in front of a huge college audience – make a declaration that will go something like this:

“All college student loans should be forgiven. I am in favor of that. It is my idea that we should do this immediately. It will take the UNFAIR burden off the backs of our students. I believe that we should use OIL MONEY PROFITS to pay for these loans. I believe that this will help STIMULATE THE ECONOMY and also help students to get into the marketplace, thus boosting our economy. I am in favor of forgiving ALL STUDENT LOANS – TODAY! It is the best – and the FAIREST – way to handle the situation. Thank you.”

This is what I believe President Obama is planning to do. It will pit – and UNITE – the total student body of the nation behind Obama and assure him of a second term.

Romney – and the Republicans (just like Little Johnny above) – will state that it is impossible to forgive the loans. The economy cannot stand the added stress.

But with Obama standing on the “forgiveness of student loans platform” he assures himself of being re-elected.

After the election, then Little Barack will say, “I did not PROMISE that I would forgive all student loans. I just said that I am in favor of the idea.”

And all the students will start to cry.

Duped again by infantile naivete, they will roll up their sleeves – barring their multi-colored tattoos – and strike against Wall Street again.

And again, those who voted for Barack Obama will realize their mistake – but it will be too late.

We only have ONE ELECTION.

CONVERSATIONS WITH CONSERVATIVES

Recently, I have had a number of conversations with dumbed-down conservatives and I feel that there is a very big storm brewing in this country.

I have heard more than my share of narrow-minded, numb-nut people who call themselves conservatives – but don’t have an inkling of what they are talking about.

Look at what these narrow-minded simpletons are doing – to their own party – with regard to Orin Hatch and Richard Lugar.

Oh, yes. I have heard how bad these two guys are – but wake up people. We are in a battle for the soul of our Nation – and these jerks are killing off their own kind???

No, I do not like what Hatch and Lugar have done. But remember, many people did not like what John McCain had done either – and look what happened.

Barack Obama was elected President.

Now, we have “conservatives” spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to defeat these two SOLID REPUBLICANS.

Notice, I did not say Conservatives. I used a capital C when I speak of Conservatives in the proper manner.

But they are Republicans – and that is what we need now – not Liberal Democrats promising ice cream after lunch.

Going after our own party members is TOTALLY AND POLITICALLY INSANE.

It is POLITICAL SUICIDE.

Have we completely forgotten what Ronald Reagan said? “Speak no ill of fellow Republicans.”

He was smart enough to realize that you don’t give ammunition to the enemy. And yes, the Liberal Democrat Organization that is now “Occupying” the White House is our ENEMY.

The reoccurring tone of my discussions was that, “I am NOT going to vote for Romney. I am going to vote for Ron Paul – and teach those Republicans a lesson they will never forget.”

Well, my friends, if that is your intention – I suggest that you just stay at home – because you are, in reality, voting for Barack Obama.

Wake up! Wise up!

No, Mitt Romney is NOT the best candidate – but he is our only hope this time around.

I have written extensively in this newsletter that Ron Paul might have been a better choice, or Allen West, or Jon Huntsman. Not Mitt Romney.

But we must stop feeding on our own young. When Rick Santorum said what he said about Romney during the primaries – he VIOLATED Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

And the Democrats will use his exact language in political advertisements – to vilify and defeat – Mitt Romney.

NiccolòMachiavelli stated that the lion must sometimes be a lamb. He also said that the ends justify the means. Furthermore, he said that the first obligation of a Prince is to gain power. His second obligation is to RETAIN that power.

We, as Conservative Republicans had better shine some light up that south end and wake up to the realities of politics – not to mention the sorry state of affairs that this Nation is in.

A vote for ANYBODY other than Mitt Romney – is a vote against the SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL AMERICAN CITIZEN. A VOTE AGAINST LIBERTY. A VIRTUAL VOTE AGAINST FREEDOM ITSELF.

From as far back as I can remember those who simply have not “made it” in life blame others for their own short-comings.

No, I am not talking about legitimate cases such as permanent disability, severe health conditions, or other real problems. We have a welfare system that SHOULD take care of those people. It is our obligation as a compassionate society.

What is NOT an obligation is to take care of the myriad of freeloaders, fakers and flakes that are overloading our social welfare security net.

While tossing back a few beers with my good friend Ernesto Patriota the other night, I laid the following question on him:

“Ernesto, what is the biggest population segment on welfare in America today?”

Without missing a beat, he replied, “Blacks. And then probably Latinos. That’s a simple question, man. Why do you ask those kind of questions?” He looked at me for a moment, then quaffed the remaining beer in his mug.

“Because you are wrong. White people are the biggest beneficiaries of welfare assistance.”

“And there is your mistake. Percentage wise you are correct. But actual numbers show that white people are, by far, the biggest recipients.”

“So, what is your point?”

“The point is that it is not just blacks and Latinos on the dole. It is much more than that. With the amount of people on welfare now, we are over the 50% mark. Imagine, 50% of the American public is on some form of WELFARE. And a huge amount of them are scamming the system.”

“So, what is your point? I still don’t get it.”

“More and more people are becoming dependent on the Government. The more people depend on the Government for a subsidized life, the less free they are. But beyond that we now have a Section 8 Mentality to deal with.”

From that point we drifted off to other discussions and slowly slipped into a nice evening out by the poolside.

But the point of a Section 8 Mentality has finally come of age.

For those who are not familiar with the term, Section 8 is, in a nutshell, when a landlord rents his property to the Government, in turn which rent money is guaranteed to the landlord – the Government then rents the unit out to “welfare recipients.”

In this sense, the welfare recipient AND the landlord are both receivers of a Government dole.

The amount of fraud in this system is palpable. Race, color and ethnicity have little to do with it.

It is a mental condition. It is much more developed than the “entitlement mentality.”

Section 8 Mentality is a way of life, not just for the welfare people – but also for real estate landlords.

And the fraud seems to just be getting worse. I know, because I have witnessed it first hand, with my own relatives. There are those that are scamming the Social Security System – and getting away with it on a gigantic basis.

WHY IS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?

People have become so scared of questioning any applicant as to their actual financial condition, mental or physical condition – for fear of being labeled, you guessed it, racist. But even further than this, everybody is afraid of causing any trouble whatsoever. So just about everybody who applies for Government aid is granted it.

Food stamps, welfare payments – for a laundry list of “ailments” – are just the beginning. There are so many ways to scam the American Welfare System that is boggles the mind.

Members of my family (of which I have finally cut all ties with) think it is their RIGHT to get this money from the Government. And why not? They have now come under the spell of the Section 8 Mentality.

And here is how it works. They believe that life has treated them badly – and that life is unfair. So those who have actually worked their asses off are to blame – and should pay for taking care of them – for the rest of their lives.

There are those, who after their military spouse dies, keep getting half their deceased spouse’s income – even though they are living with another person. They simply did not “get remarried” – thus still able to collect that income.

There are others who pretend to have injuries and illnesses that have long since dissipated – but still “put on the act” when they go in for re-evaluation. I know, I have seen it firsthand.

Still yet, we have double – and triple dippers – into the Governmental feedbag. These are past ” Government employees” from all levels of government that are pulling in two and three pension checks at once. Some are making over $200,000 a year – just in pension payments, for doing absolutely nothing.

The only work these people know how to do is – work the system.

And this is where the Section 8 Mentality comes into play. And it is very simple. Here it is:

“They are rich already – so they should pay. They can afford it.”

Do you understand what I am saying?

It is their fault that I am where I am – not my own fault. I take no responsibility for my own actions.

People are where they are in life because that is where they choose to be.

That is it, folks. And it is these people that are running down our once respectful Welfare System. It has now degenerated into a CATCHALL SYSTEM of forking out money to anybody who goes in and applies.

And more and more people are applying – and getting more Government subsidies.

But the real beauty of this system is the scam that is in place – has been put there by the Government itself.

To take care of more Welfare recipients – you need more Government Employees. Notice, I did not say workers.

It is a vicious cycle – and one that is bound to blow itself up – sooner than later.

New figures just released show that Social Security benefits will expire – be completed exhausted – by 2033. Other sections of the Social Security System will go by the boards before 2020.

So the real question is not how to fix Social Security. It is broken – and since more than 50% of the country is now on some sort of Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid – no body wants to fix it. So it will just keep going until we get to the point of no return.

The reason no one wants to fix it is because the House of Representatives and the Senate and the Executive Branch have already taken care of themselves when it comes to lifetime retirement plans – an egregious example of Welfare Waste if there ever was one.

SO WHO DOES THAT LEAVE HOLDING THE BAG?

All the people who are NOT on Welfare – and NOT working for the Government. That means, all small businesses and those refusing to take a FALSE DOLE from the Governmental dependent money tit.

And that is the crux of the situation that nobody seems to have figured out.

What happens when the vast majority is finally dependent on the Government for their existence – their actual livelihood?

When that happens, those who have managed to keep ahead of the game, will be looking for a way out. It is already happening. More and more people are leaving America – and some are even renouncing their citizenship in the process.

Imagine, giving up your American citizenship – because the Government has taken over so much of the Sovereign Individual’s rights that the only thing left for them to do is leave America.

I remember a woman once remarked:

“I have finally found the American dream. Too bad it was not in America.”

She was living in New Zealand – and running a thriving business of her own.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the beginning stages of an AmericanExodus that is only going to get worse as time goes on.

Unless something is done to stop this insane concept that the Government should TAKE CARE OF EVERYBODY – the USS Ship of State is simply sunk.

The Government will take care of ITSELF. But not WE THE PEOPLE. This is already starting to show up on all available statistics.

Higher unemployment, higher prices in food and energy costs (which the Government purposely does not count in Inflation Figures), higher costs to Medicare/Medicaid, higher college graduates out of work (college debt is now rated at over 1 TRILLION DOLLARS and much of these loans are going UNCOLLECTED), higher fees and higher costs for every IMAGINABLE commodity and “service” that the Government can conjure up.

It is a prescription for disaster that is happening right before our very eyes.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

There are two answers.

#1. Get involved in your local GOP and stop this insanity. By getting involved I mean GET INVOLVED. Go down to your local GOP office and offer to ACTUALLY help.

Seal envelops, answer the phone, canvass neighborhoods, go to small businesses and hand out literature, talk to young kids, get your friends involved – but do SOMETHING.

If you have not done this – then you are to blame if The Organization in the White House is reelected. It is as simple as that.

#2. In the end, we will have to take care of ourselves. The Government simply cannot – and WILL NOT – take care of us, when the chips are down.

Witness Greece, Ireland, Spain, France – and Germany. They are all failing – and falling into possible REVOLUTION. But not ONE politician has suggested cutting his pay by 50% to help out the cause. The cuts are always on WE THE PEOPLE. Read your history, folks. Ever heard of Robin Hood?

To take care of yourself – and your family – make sure your passport is up to date and current. I know, I have said this before. But how many of you have actually done it – yet?

Set up a bank account that is off-shore. Have an account in a solid country – where confiscation is not a problem. Australia and New Zealand come to mind. Canada does, too.

Hold no more than what is needed in your American bank account. The Government can confiscate this money at will. It has happened before. Ever heard of RUNS ON BANKS – and bank closures?

Keep money (cash) stashed throughout your home for emergency needs.

If at all possible look into buying a house or condo in a foreign country and start to establish permanent residency. Make sure they have good medical/dental facilities. Again the three countries mentioned above have these services already in place.

I know. A lot of you will say, “That’s fine. But what happens if I can’t afford doing what you advise in #2.

Well, simply put, you can afford it – if you really sit down and look at your portfolio and map out an exit strategy.

I am not rich. However, I saw this coming over twenty years ago – but few would even listen. I was written off as an angry, fat, white, conservative redneck who was “extreme to the max.”

Funny, but it does not appear to be the case any longer.

My wife and I have been mapping out our plan for over 10 years – and we are ready to move if the time presents itself.

If you think it is easy for me to say these things – or even recommend them – you are completely mistaken.

I gave up a very lucrative teaching profession (in the six-figures) to come back and “help” America one last time. I was naive – stupid, to put it bluntly – to think that America even wanted to be helped.

When I came back I was stunned with reverse cultural shock. What I saw made me ashamed of my total miscalculation on returning to America.

Most people were fat, snarly, self-absorbed morons with body piercing and tattoos from head to toe. They were arrogant, ignorant and demanding – because they simply “just knew” what was going on.

So here we are now with gas over $4.00 per gallon, food prices up over 30%, more welfare and more corruption than I can even put a finger on. And that is just in Obama’s first four years.

Yet, the dumbed-down electorate voted in a rogue president – whose background is STILL in doubt – and no one is protesting in the streets.

If McCain and Palin had won the election – and everything that has happened since Obama ascended to the White House – don’t you think that their would be riots in the streets by now?

Remember, when gas prices shot up, for a time, during Bush’s term? It was Cheney’s fault – because of his relationship with Halliburton. How stupid was that? But that is what happened.

Now, since it is Obama in the White House, there is not a peep from anybody as to who is responsible.

And that is the way it will go from here on in – so get ready for a torrent of creative bovine excreta from Obama and his minions regarding his “stellar first four years.” I guarantee, it is coming.

Dumbed-down America just might be stupid enough to vote him back in for a second term – simply because they want to continue to feed at the Government trough of Welfare Subsistence.

The Section 8 Mentality is alive and well in America.

Only WE THE PEOPLE can put a stop to this idiocy.

A FEW MORE PREDICTIONS

I must apologize. A few readers have told me that I am patting myself on the back for the predictions that I make. Funny thing, though. When I am right with my predictions – no one ever says congratulations.

But when I blow it – as I did on predicting a brokered convention – I got a number of pretty interesting comments. So goes life.

So here are a few more to play with.

1. The Economy is going to be manipulated to look better than it is by the Government.

2. Gas prices WILL BE around $3.05 per gallon by November.

3. Obama will use the following tactics:

a. Racism

b. Class Warfare

c. “We care about you – the Republicans don’t care about you”

d. Possible Military Action before the election

Hopefully, this gives everyone some ammunition to use if any of these do not come to fruition.

In closing, I would like to refer to a site that my good friend, Steve, sent to me a few days ago.

It is this type of American of African Ancestry that we need leading this country – not the ingenious fake that is currently occupying the White House.

Of course, he did not call me. But I bet the headline caught your eye, and that you started to read immediately.

And that is my point. We are going to get deluged with false information, bogus headlines, lies and slanderous, unsubstantiated stories in the coming months. So get ready – and please learn to read between the lines.

Don’t simply jump to conclusions – and pass on emails that are blatantly out of touch with reality.

But let’s just pretend that President Obama did call me. Here is what I think would transpire:

“Hello, Larry. This is Barack Obama. I have been reading your American Telegraph and you seem to have things pretty well on line as to my re-election campaign.”

“Hello, Mr. President. How exactly do you mean?”

“Well, for one thing, I am going to have my Organization play up the fact that I received the Nobel Prize – for my diplomacy and success in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Also, my reduction in nuclear arms with Russia will be touted to the masses.

“Next in 2011, if you remember, I was leading the NATO forces to help topple Libya’s Colonel Gadhafi.”

“Uh, Mr. President. As I understand it you were “leading from behind.”

“Good point. But I was leading, nonetheless. NATO could not have done it without me.

“Then, to top that success off, I then directed the Navy SEALS to kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.”

“But, Mr. President, I saw you cringing in the White House Office. You looked scared to death. Hillary Clinton, just this morning said that nobody could breathe”

“Good point. However, I did not want to appear too overjoyed at the violence. After all, I was AWARDED the PEACE PRIZE. But let’s not get lost in this conversation.

“From there, I gave the go-ahead with Drone strikes to kill Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen.

“And those are just for starters.”

“Starters?”

“Yes, Larry. You see, the GOP does not get one iota of what this campaign is going to be like. Let me explain.

“I have the Main Stream Media behind me.

“Warren and George Soros are both heavy contributors to my campaign. I have over ONE BILLION DOLLARS in campaign financing promised to me.”

“But Mr. President. What about your campaign against the rich?”

“Good point. I will just say that they are helping me to fight the rich BAD guys. Then I can just point to Mitt Romney and his elevator in his garage for his cars. All I have to say is, ‘We don’t even have an elevator in the White House garage for my car.'”

“But you don’t have a car, Mr. President. And you don’t buy your own gas, either.”

“Good point. But I will just say that we must make everybody equal by giving them a fair chance. Then I bring up Bill Gates and his millions he is donating to charity. He is on MY TEAM too.

“But he gets to choose who HE gives money too – and then writes all those taxes off – and WE THE PEOPLE have to pick up the slack.”

“Good point. But he is one of the richest men in the world so I am happy to have him in MY corner. I would rather have him with me, than against me.”

“But that makes four of the RICHEST MEN ON THE PLANET on your reelection campaign. How does that square with you trying to blame the rich for everything? Warren Buffet spends MILLIONS OF DOLLARS every year trying to AVOID TAXES. So does Soros, who by the way is considered a criminal in France, and Gates does the exact same thing to AVOID paying his fair share.”

“Good point. But you have to understand, they are friends of mine. They have extremely strong ties with people around the world, the Communist Chinese, North Korea and especially Russia. We don’t want to make anybody mad, now do we?”

“But those countries are adherents to terrorism around the world. So are Iran and Venezuela, both of whom you treat very lightly when it comes to international diplomacy.”

“Good point. But, after all, this is an election year, as I told the President of Russia just the other day.

“But beside the Media and one billion dollars behind me, I also have UNIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY voting – and WORKING FOR ME – twenty four hours a day.

“Also, I AM THE INCUMBENT – AND I CAN JUST ABOUT DO ANYTHING I WANT.”

“But what about the Constitution?”

“Good point. But, in all honesty, I could care less about the Constitution. Hell, I got to be President not because of the Constitution – but in SPITE OF IT. But don’t quote me on that.”

“But you have disappointed a lot of people with all your broken promises.”

“Good point. But let’s remember, the ECONOMY IS GETTING BETTER. Or so I have told Ben to tell the masses. After I get reelected is when the real problems will come up. But, hey, I don’t care. I will have a MILLION DOLLAR PENSION for the rest of my life. Why should that bother me. I got mine. Now, again, don’t you be quoting me on that.”

“But what about gas prices?”

“Good point. Watch what happens in September. They will be down to the three dollar level. My ORGANIZATION is working on that now.

“Your Organization? I thought it was an Administration.”

“Good point. But where I come from, the boys refer to it as the ORGANIZATION. It is kind of a tradition with us.”

“Well, what about the borders?”

“Good point. What borders?”

“Well, what happens if your Healthcare does not get past the Supreme Court?”

“Good point. First off, I will appoint four new Justices. Then I will blame the GOP for being against healthcare for OLD PEOPLE, POOR PEOPLE, VETERANS, AND THE MIDDLE CLASS.”

“That just about covers everybody.”

“Good point. It only leaves the RICH PEOPLE. And that is the crux of our whole racial/rich/poor class warfare agenda. This way the GOP are for the RICH – and I AM FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. The American people were naive to believe me the first time. And they will believe me again.

“And can you believe, the GOP is SO STUPID to have a RICH MAN running for president that I can sell this to anybody, anywhere, anytime of the day. I have to laugh. Of all the good men the GOP could have come up with, they go for Mitt Romney. And then we have the Evangelicals who will just sit on their hands because they consider his religion a cult. It is a win-win situation for me. And if all else fails, I can have Israel attack Iran by late summer, I will support Bebe, thus gaining back the Jewish vote – and then I win IN A LANDSLIDE. It is so simple, it is laughable. Get it?

In my last newsletter I stated that the Supreme Court would be in the sights of the “Mob” and get EXTREME PRESSURE to pass Obamacare.

But I never thought it would be this fast – and from President Obama himself.

In this action, he has finally proven to me that he is a product of the “New” generation of, what I like to refer to as, “Entitlement Thinkers.”

They believe that they are entitled to their way – NO MATTER WHAT.

I have experienced this type of SELF-ESTEEM of parental training in the flesh. I will get to that in a minute.

But the point here is that President Obama is actually the first person to emerge under this type of training/propaganda in our lifetime.

Let me explain.

Mr. Obama has never really had a real job. In my life I have been a boxboy, a gardener, a groundsworker, a garbage man, worked in a gas station, been a laborer on a construction site, a real estate agent, served in the US Army, went to Vietnam, been a university instructor and a number of other odd jobs along the way.

I got my ass kicked a few times, discovered that I did not have “all the answers” and learned to deal with the fact that I was wrong almost as many times as I was right.

I was not coddled.

And therein lie the rub. President Obama has never had it tough. Oh, yes, he will play up his broken home and how rough that was.

But wait. When I came back from Vietnam – and was yelled at and given the finger at the airport – I got home to find out that my mother and father had gotten divorced, too.

Not easy stuff to handle in a single day. But handle it I did.

Yet, President Obama can’t seem to take the “hits.”

Instead, he points to others – and blames them – for his mistakes. He is proving, by his actions of late, that he really is NOT a scholar. Maybe this is the reason for having his college transcripts sealed. Another reason might be is that he actually majored in ORATORICAL RHETORIC. Check it out for yourself. They actually have classes on that at Harvard.

But beyond this, Mr. Obama is a CONSUMMATE LIAR.

And therein lies the essence of the totally self-esteemed ENTITLEMENT THINKER.

The following, in my opinion, is where the root of the matter lies.

THE CHILDREN’S TALENT CONTEST

About a week ago my wife and I went to our neighborhood elementary school to watch our grandchildren, along with a flurry of other kids, perform at their annual talent show.

What followed would make LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE hide her head in shame.

For the next 90 minutes we were subjected to some of the most pitiful, painful and talentless “performers” I have ever seen on stage.

The first one was billed as, “An up and coming artist in her own right, destined to be world famous!”

Out came this little girl, dressed to the nines like a French artist, red cape, black beret, and an artist’s smirk firmly planted on her pudgy, little face.

What happened next was breathtaking. Her father emerged from the adorning audience, sat down and allowed his little daughter to draw his portrait “right in front of our very eyes.”

To the tune of some kind of “music” – and after four agonizing minutes she produced – a stick picture.

To my astonishment the crowd went wild. They stood and applauded, some whistled and others were hooting and hollering their approval.

My wife and I just stared at each other in total bewilderment.

And the “talent show” just got worse from there.

One girl with a Hula-Hoop. Another three dancers that just jumped around the stage. A fat little boy, dressed up in a cowboy outfit and a huge, white cowboy hat, sang so badly that I could not even make out the words.

These poor children got standing ovations, bouquets of flowers, and high-fives all around.

For simply doing nothing special in any sense of the word.

It was a disgraceful show, to say the least. But it was NOT the kids’ fault.

It was the maniac parents who were jumping up and down, urging their untalented children on, who should have been taken outside and severely beaten.

I was so appalled that I wanted to stand up and start kicking ass. But that is the “past” me. Instead, I just sat there and took it all in.

Then, after the show, their were “awesome” congratulations to the point of where I actually got sick and had to go outside for air.

But the real kicker was when I heard the “teacher” – a really “cool” dude – say that this was his SIXTEENTH YEAR of producing this “TALENT SHOW.”

I thought I was going to lose it right there – but I managed to go back outside before I went for his throat.

SIXTEEN YEARS of this treacherous lie that has been foisted upon unsuspecting children – by self-indulgent, overweight, dumbass parents – and totally uninformed “teachers.”

The children will now go out into this world and do what they want to do because they are so “awesome” and cry, bitch, moan and complain every time something does not go their way.

I have noticed the disease spreading to my own grandchildren.

My middle grandson, in particular, lies about everything. But he actually seems not to understand the concept at all.

I asked him if he got into trouble at school recently and he said, “No.” His mother (my daughter) had informed me earlier that he had been reprimanded by the principal.

On other occasions he has outright lied about a number of things. I actually saw him push his little sister down – I watched him do it. I asked him why he pushed her down and he said, “I didn’t push her down.” When I pressed the issued he adamantly denied any wrong doing.

I told him, in no uncertain terms, not to lie to “Grandpa.”

He denied it again. My grandson still looks askance at me when he visits. He knows I know.

When children are not taught right from wrong – in school AND at home – we are then culpable in the scheme of bringing up total GENERATIONS of LIARS who “JUST KNOW” what to do in life.

After all, they have been indelibly tattooed with the poison of SELF-ESTEEMED ENTITLEMENT THINKERS:

Political Correctness has run amok.

COMES OBAMA

“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.”

H.L. Mencken

President Obama has learned his craft well. He is the highest form of consummate liar I have ever seen in my entire life.

His, is a prostituted concept of eloquent rhetoric – and it is ruining our country.

President Obama is the height of this type of thinking. He has been pampered, coddled and groomed for his position in life – and he thinks he “Just Knows.”

He lies with every breath he takes. He does it with such ease that I actually think he believes what he is saying is true.

He denies what he has lied about, points fingers, whines, bitches and moans.

Yet, he has produced nothing.

Exactly like the children at that TALENT SHOW.

Obama takes bows from an adorning public – for nothing.

President Obama is the epitome of our Public Education System Par Excellence.

He lies, cheats, schemes and denies when he is wrong – and refuses to take any responsibility whatsoever.

He is what some would call a man-child. He has never grown up – and he never will.

Why should he – for President Obama has all the answers. It is WE THE PEOPLE who don’t understand.

THE SUPREME COURT – AGAIN

When I predicted that the Supreme Court was going to come under pressure I was actually thinking of arm-twisting from behind the scenes. But I was wrong.

However, please bear in mind – we are dealing with the Mob – and those boys do not mess around.

So here is another prediction for you all to chew on.

Some time between now and June someone – or two – of the Supreme Court Justices will either get very “sick” and have to be “replaced.” Or somebody is going to tragically die in an accident.

Please remember, the two most efficient ways of assassination are by poisoning or airplane crash.

Accidents will happen with President Obama.

I have been told by extremely reliable sources that some Circuit Court Judges – around the country – are in true fear for their well-being – thus, the order (a veiled retort to the open threat by Obama), by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit Court, requesting a 3 page, single-spaced, type written response as to why Obama feels the way he does.

And, for the record, I predict that the letter, IF written at all, will be very curt in its response – thus avoiding being held in contempt – by barely complying with the order at all.

This is SERIOUS stuff. And if this continues we might actually witness the total dismantling of the United States Constitution – “right before our very eyes” – if the Supreme Court is bullied into ruling in Obama’s favor.

The REAL question is, what are WE THE PEOPLE going to do about it if this actually begins to take place?

And in reality – it has already begun.

When President Obama made his statement about the Supreme Court – the reaction was “fast and furious” to reference another blunder by this Organization. Notice, I did not say “Administration.”

It is going to take SUPREME Courage for the men and women of the Supreme Court to disavow Obamacare.

If that happens, look for a purge of the sitting Justices – a purge that “President” Putin would be proud of.

Speaking of “President” Putin – have you noticed that there was not even a muted murmur from the White House as to the scandalous way the Russian “election” was handled? Obama actually CONGRATULATED “Vladimir” on the results.

If President Obama is actually re-elected (as I still predict he will be), I can only shudder at what he – and President Putin – will cook up together.

American is in seriously DEEP trouble.

HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL

Here is wishing you all a very Happy Easter. I will be busy so this is my Easter American Telegraph. I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.

Almost a year ago I predicted that, if Mitt Romney was the GOP standard bearer, the Republicans would lose in November.

I took a beating for saying that, being accused of “thinking negative” and called an outright “troublemaker” and not really being a Republican at all. It reminds me when I was running for Congress when members of the GOP establishment actually accused me of being a Socialist. Pretty funny stuff.

But in all honesty, people tend to confuse negative commentary with the true facts of the matter. To put it bluntly, they misinterpret cold realism as negative thinking. Even more bluntly – the truth hurts.

So why can’t Mitt Romney win?

1. He is rich.

2. He is a Mormon.

3. He is a capitalist.

4. He is a white male.

5. He has fallen into the negative mode of campaigning.

I could go on but I’ll stop there.

I will say it again, if Romney is the GOP standard bearer he will lose – no matter who his running mate is.

I am still predicting a brokered GOP convention. However, if that happens, I am afraid that the GOP will STILL lose.

So where does that leave the Republican Party – with its adult-children running the show?

In all honesty, the GOP has been driven so low – with the backbiting, hatred among the GOP candidates and the STILL present “social agenda issues” ruining the party – that they have now just about run the party into the ground.

Living here in Sacramento with two universities (Sac State and UC Davis + a number of community colleges to boot) I have a great opportunity to meet with students and government employees all the time.

And, for the most part, they are all saying the same thing. “If the Republicans would ever pull their head out of their ass I would vote for them, but they are nothing but a bunch of right-wing hypocrites.”

Sorry, but that is a direct quote – and one that a lot of people are saying more and more these days.

And that type of thinking is simply too close for comfort.

Many people are saying they want to get rid of Obama – but the Republicans have no one any better.

So what is the use of changing if there won’t be any change?

WHERE THE GOP WENT WRONG

The GOP blew its chances of defeating President Obama when they thought it would be a cakewalk.

I have been in touch with a lot of people from the GOP side who are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that they will defeat Obama in November. I have had breakfast with these people. And also lunch and dinner.

But they simply DO NOT get it. Instead of listening to reason they go off on some tangent as to how they have “never seen such activity in the Republican party” or how we will all be “very surprised come November” when the GOP take back the White House and the Senate, too.

This kind of wishful thinking is what has led the GOP – and the Nation – to the brink of political and cultural chaos.

But the GOP STILL does not get it.

I wrote long ago that the efforts of the Republicans should be on winning back the Senate and buttressing up the House of Representatives so as to stymie President Obama in his second term, with regards to what he has in store for America – once there are no more elections to rein him in.

It will be a National Tragedy. But the stalwarts of the GOP Establishment could give a damn less. America is NOT foremost on their minds. In truth, they are traitors to the cause of the likes of Eisenhower, Goldwater and Reagan.

The dumb GOP Establishment doesn’t even know that Obama has been sitting back – keeping his powder dry – as the morons who are running for the GOP presidential nomination are blowing hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars in senseless NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNS AGAINST OTHER REPUBLICANS.

I remember the movie “Stalin” in which Robert De Niro played the lead role. He demanded to know where all his generals were when the Germans were attacking Russia. One of his aids looked at Stalin and said meekly, “You had them all executed.”

And that is precisely what the current crop of Republicans have done to the Grand Old Party. They have executed it.

As it stands now, the GOP is in danger of not only losing the presidency (by a landslide) but they just might screw it up so badly that they manage to lose the House, too. That would give Obama and Company an unparalleled clamp on UNCONTESTED POWER in America.

If you think Obama has overstepped his presidential authority now – just wait until he has the House, the Senate AND the White House all in Democrat hands.

And folks, this is NOT negative thinking – this is REALITY speaking now.

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

THE SUPREME COURT

We are almost to the point of no return.

Does anybody even realize that unions control our TOTAL public education system?

Does anybody even know that Illegal Immigration is a total and complete farce in America?

As the government controlled media keep everyone glued to their TV set with Dancing With The Stars, American Idol – and the constant barrage of idiotic sports entertainment – March Madness etal – the power brokers of this country are moving in for the kill.

The government has quietly taken control of most major banking corporations and much of the energy industry with excruciating legislation to severely cramp them from doing business as it should be done.

Then we have National Healthcare.

Can’t anyone see that there is ONE MAN who is going to determine the fate of MILLIONS of Older Americans when it comes to Obamacare. And I am NOT talking about President Obama.

The one man I am talking about is not even an elected official. That one man is Anthony Kennedy, Justice of the Supreme Court.

And here is another prediction that I hope NEVER comes true – but it must be stated here – for the record.

Obamacare will be ruled CONSTITUTIONAL. At best, only parts of it will be stricken down.

But the WHOLE of Obamacare will NEVER be completely thrown out. The pressure from the Chicago MOB will be too great for even Chief Justice Kennedy to buck up against.

Now here is the REAL KICKER.

Once Obama is reelected – and if the Senate and House are, as I predict, solidly in the hands of Democrats – then the crowning glory of the second term of President Barack Hussein Obama will be to APPOINT four – yes FOUR – new Justices to the Supreme Court.

AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS WHAT OBAMA HAS BEEN PLANNING ALL ALONG.

Wake up, people. We are closer now to a Socialist/Tyranny than anybody can actually comprehend.

But no one is even the least bit concerned as to any of this happening. But if Obama is allowed a second term – this too, shall come to pass.

Shame on the Republican Party. Shame on the GOP leadership. And shame on all Americans who refuse to see what is happening right under their collective noses.

WHAT TO DO?

I know this is going to sound extremely cynical but it is one of the best ways to protect yourself against this coming disaster in America, if Obama is reelected.

First and foremost, you should get a verified PASSPORT as soon as you can. They are currently good for 10 years – and cost a few hundred dollars to complete the whole task.

But if Obama decides to pass ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ORDER, he could very well make them only good for 30 days – and raise the price for obtaining one to $10,000.

Sound absurd? You only need to look at history to see that it has all happened before.

But wait. It is happening as I write – in Afghanistan. At this very moment people are lining up to get passports so they can leave their homeland. They know America is going to desert them. They also know that the Taliban are going to retake the country – once American forces pull out.

As predicted would happen in Egypt – is now happening in Afghanistan. Islamic fundamentalists are taking over the country.

Once you have a passport you can go anywhere because you have the key to traveling abroad. But just think for a moment. Only 20% of Americans actually have valid passports. The other 80% are stuck.

Now that, my friends, is a CAPTIVE audience.

The next thing to do is to open up a bank or trading account in a different country. Australia and New Zealand are very good countries in which to do business. I have dealt with both and they are very good to work with.

What about Canada? In my opinion, Canada is simply too close for comfort in relation the the United States.

After you have your passport – and your banking offshore – you should then look to divest yourself of all your personal belongings – house, car, and all other unnecessary items – and get ready to move outside of America.

There are a number of great places you can live – and have good healthcare and a good lifestyle to boot.

In addition to Australia and New Zealand, Thailand and Vietnam are open for American “transplants” as is Panama and Belize. Ecuador and Chile are also spots to consider – along with Brazil.

And then there is always Japan.

Having come back from an extended stay in the Land of the Rising Sun I can only say it outshines America on a number of fronts. Their healthcare system is terrific. The system of transportation is second to none. The service industry is superb. It has one of the lowest crime rates in the whole world. It is safe, clean, efficient, and well-run.

Some of my friends scoff when I say these things about Japan, with a common retort of, “What about their nuclear fallout problem?”

All I have to do is start my rebuttal with, “Three Mile Island” and end it with “Chernobyl.”

My point is, it is getting too close for comfort. If Obama is reelected then things will dramatically change for the worse here in America. What I am attempting to do is give a few “new ideas” on how to survive the coming upheaval.

And that is NOT negative thinking – just plain, common sense.

HAPPY PALM SUNDAY TO EVERYONE

I want to wish all my friends a very Happy Palm Sunday. This wish is extended to readers of all denominations and religious faiths.

Some people refer to The Affordable Care Act as “Obamacare” or “ObamaRomneycare.”

Whatever you wish to call it is your business.

But for those of you who know me, you can rest assured that I still call them as I seem ’em.

It took over a year of “debate” and outlandish accusations on BOTH sides of the “aisle” and look what we got. A bureaucratic behemoth of such complexity, and legalese so convoluted, that not one person in Congress can actually tell you what the “Act” entails.

We have been sold a bill of goods – again.

And, ladies and gentlemen, it is the fault – and plan – of the Status Quo to keep us so confused and befuddled as to what is going on, so much so that EVERYBODY is totally confounded.

So, let’s back off just for a moment and look at things from a little farther out.

Now that we have that stipulation on the table – and I don’t think I would get much dissent on the above statement – let’s think logically, just for a moment.

We ALREADY HAVE National Healthcare systems in place right here in America.

Does that surprise you? Well, if you think about it, then it should not surprise you one bit.

Every member of the House of Representatives is FULLY COVERED by GOVERNMENT PROVIDED National Healthcare.

Every member of the Senate is FULLY COVERED by GOVERNMENT PROVIDED National Healthcare.

The majority of United States Veterans are COVERED by GOVERNMENT PROVIDED National Healthcare.

Medicare covers 80% of most Seniors in our country and Medicaid covers most of the truly poor and underprivileged in America.

So, how is it that we have all these GOVERNMENT RUN PROGRAMS that seem to be doing a pretty good job of taking care of people in need?

But wait. Not ALL people are covered. And therein lies the rub.

Yet, the solution is VERY SIMPLE to come to grips with.

Here is the Simple Solution:

Give every LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN the exact same type of coverage that our Congressmen and Senators get.

Problem solved.

No need for ANY other type of coverage.

The medical care that these men and women receive surpass the best hospitals and medical centers of the world.

And the structure is ALREADY IN PLACE.

BUT, BUT . . . .

When I was running for Congress, one of the other candidates said that she was against Government run healthcare.

When I pointed out that SHE was a recipient of GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE, because she was working for the government while running for Congress at the same time (talk about a conflict of interest), she stuttered and stammered, “But, But . . . .”

If government run healthcare is so BAD then you should ask ALL politicians who are currently eligible to receive it, to simply decline their medical coverage – as I asked my opponent to do.

She steadfastly refused to comply.

Why?

Because government workers take GOVERNMENT JOBS to get GOVERNMENT GUARANTEED HEALTHCARE.

Let’s not play games here folks. EVERY GOVERNMENT WORKER, from the garbage collector (which I once was – for the City of San Jose) to the President of the United States of America is receiving GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE.

We ALREADY HAVE GOVERNMENT SPONSORED HEALTHCARE.

The infrastructure is already in place. The hospitals are there. The doctors are on duty. The ER room is set to go.

So where is the problem?

BUT, BUT . . . WHAT ABOUT THE COST?

Ah, yes. The canard of canards.

Well, what about the cost?

Think back for a moment to what I said at the beginning. How much has Obamacare already cost us in time wasted, in money spent – and in absolutely NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED. We won’t even see this program kick in until 2014.

And now the CBO is projecting ALL SORTS of cost increases.

Think of the BILLIONS ALREADY SPENT just on feeding our “representatives” (small “r” fully intended) while they “debated” the “problem” for over a YEAR.

Folks, there IS no Healthcare Problem in America. The problem lies in our spineless Congress – both Houses – not to have what it takes to stand up and say:

“Mr. Speaker, I move for a floor vote – right this very minute – to extend the EXACT SAME MEDICAL COVERAGE that we all enjoy and cherish in this Chamber today. I move that every legal American citizen be granted full and complete medical coverage – and to have ALL the cost be provided for by the United States Government.”

Only one problem. No one has the proper physical apparatus to make such a BOLD and COURAGEOUS statement.

They are ALL bought off by the Pharmaceutical/Industrial COMPLEX.

Then, there are those self-delusional people, who would say that, “We CAN’T afford such a system. All our representatives have a Cadillac Medical policy. It simply would cost too much.”

Wait a minute!

The CBO is projecting HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars in shortfalls in Obamacare – and it has not even issued one single Band-Aid.

Too expensive?

What was that definition of insanity again?

We are the only country in the world that does not have a system of National Healthcare.

Japan has a GREAT system – funded by the GOVERNMENT.

Why can’t America have the same thing?

Every single “representative” has FULL COVERAGE.

Every single “government employee” has FULL COVERAGE.

Every Veteran – including me – has MEDICAL COVERAGE.

So where is all this bureaucratic bovine excreta coming from?

It is coming from the Industrial/Pharmaceutical COMPLEX in conjunction with “GOVERNMENT LEADERS” to ballyhoo (bullshit) the populace into a frenzy about GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE.

It is a full-scale, calculated, political scam. And WE THE PEOPLE fell for it one thousand percent.

And now, for the real kicker. This whole medical mess is going to the Supreme Court to be heard by Judges who live off the medical government coverage, tried by government lawyers who also live off the medical government coverage and will take even more money to see if the whole Obamacare mandate is even legal. And everyone involved will already be covered by GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH INSURANCE.

This reminds me of a person I knew who worked for Santa Clara Country, in California. He told me that the formula for working in any government agency was to secretly cause a problem, offer to fix the problem (that you initially caused), get a reputation as a PROBLEM SOLVER – and move up the bureaucratic ladder. He retired as a Senior Administrator – with FULL medical benefits and a pension in the low six figures. In the low SIX FIGURES!

MY CHALLENGE

Every government employee who says he is against Government Run Healthcare, ask him to refuse his coverage – and see what response you get.

Just like when I challenged my opponent to get off her coverage – she adamantly refused to do so – yet she was against Government Run Healthcare – for the REST OF US!

Am I getting through here, folks?

We have been Royally SERVICED by our own “representatives.”

There is not ONE House or Senate member who has called for complete medical coverage for WE THE PEOPLE – exactly the same kind that they receive for free.

They have all played the game.

Don’t believe me? Check the POLITICAL DONATIONS.

Show me ONE politician who has NEVER taken a dime from the Pharmaceutical/Industrial COMPLEX. Just one.

You can not do it. EVERY ONE of them has taken bribes (sorry, donations) from “Big Pharma.”

Every one of them.

IT CAN BE DONE – AND DONE OVERNIGHT

If there was just ONE “representative” who had the where with all to stand up – and be counted on the floor of the Senate and make such a statement – and demand for a VOTE COUNT by each individual – we would get to the bottom of the matter very quickly.

Just one problem. That one person would be black-balled (no, that is not racist) and run out of town by the Industrial/Pharmaceutical COMPLEX at the next election.

Power gone. Prestige gone. HEALTHCARE GONE.

Are we starting to get the picture yet?

So the next time someone tells you that Government Funded Healthcare does not work ask them what their medical coverage is and who pays for it.

Don’t be surprised if they say, “The Government.”

A FEW MORE PREDICTIONS

A lot of people get “offended” when I make my predictions and they turn out to be correct. However, they don’t mind when I blow it – which I sometimes do.

But most people simply do not like a “know-it-all” and love to puncture his prediction balloon every chance they get.

That is the risk – and, quite frankly, I don’t mind in the least taking that risk. Somebody has to start to say what needs to be said. I, for one, do not adhere to belonging to a nation of sheep.

So here goes with a few more “smart-ass” predictions:

The GOP will go to Florida – without a clear-cut candidate.

The convention will be brokered – and COMPLETELY NEW people will be chosen.

Then – and here is a prediction that all you whiners and complainer out there will relish – Newt Gingrich will split off and form a THIRD PARTY – that will hand the presidential victory to Barack Obama.

Now THERE is a prediction you all can have fun with.

Somewhere between now and election day Iran will be hit with astounding force by a coalition in which the United States is a principle player.

If North Korea actually does fire off a rocket, and it flies over the air space of Japan, the Japanese Self-Defense Force will shoot it down. There is another outlandish prediction for you whiners to chew on.

Obama is now held in such low regard that I fear his stature has permanently harmed the USA. I would predict that not only China – but Russia – will start to make moves in strategic parts of the world – regardless of what America thought. Look for Russia – with Putin again at the helm – to start making incursions into other countries with little fear of ANY American response whatsoever.

Obama will bring the gas price down to around $3 a gallon in October. And if you believe that the President of the United States cannot do that – then you are beyond mental redemption.

As predicted in earlier newsletters, the economy IS getting better. If the unemployment rate is around 7.3 percent, President Obama will say, “See, I told you so. Things are getting better.”

And the PEOPLE will believe him.

And when gas prices go down President Obama will say, “See, I told you so. Things are getting better.”

And the PEOPLE will believe him again.

“Thank goodness the masses are ignorant.” -Adolph Hitler-

Where is Representative Joe Wilson when we really need him?

THE CONSTITUTION – CONTINUED

My apologies for not continuing as I promised to do with the Constitution. This is where we left off last time.

Thanks goes to all of you who wrote and asked why I did not finish the full Constitution. The answer is I got sidetracked. My fault. It won’t happen again.

We continue with Section 3:

Section. 3.The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof [Modified by Amendment XVII], for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.

Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies [Modified by Amendment XVII].

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States.

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

Over the last four days I have received a number of emails and phone calls from people whom I highly respect. I consider it an honor to be kept up to date by these individuals. I have been questioned, in the past, as to my sources “veracity” and “authenticity” but I assure all readers that they are real. Very real.

What’s ironic is, they all told me the same stories – albeit in varying degrees. Their logic seemed to mesh, at least to my satisfaction, so here is what I got from the combined conversations.

As you all know, I am prone to making predictions – and taking a lot of heat from some readers for doing so.

About two years ago I wrote two articles relating to the vast amounts of corruption in Goldman Sachs with its ties into Big Government and its involvement with the “Financial Meltdown” just BEFORE the 2008 election. A lot of people said I was “grasping at straws.”

Well, it seems that now a retiring VP from Goldman has completely spilled the beans on his former employer. I rest my case.

That was the lead-in to all of the conversations I had over the past few days. It was as though they were all reading from the “same page” as the saying goes.

Here is where it starts to get VERY interesting.

As most of you know, I stated that if Obama has lower unemployment AND lower gas prices in November, he will win re-election.

It seems that Obama can lie about the unemployment figures (actual unemployment is at 19%) but he cannot figure out how to lie about the gas price. Yesterday I paid $4.15 a gallon to fill up at COSTCO.

My friends (sources) told me that Obama has painted himself into a corner with both the economy and gas prices.

This is no secret. What comes as a surprise is that they all “hinted” at the fact that Obama is prepared to go to war with Iran – IF the April meetings on nuclear inspections show “ANY kind of stonewalling” on allowing inspectors back into the plants.

They said that Obama is secretly panicking – and is now “ready to assist Israel” if the USA can “paint it as though they have exhausted ALL diplomatic efforts” to make Iran stop making the bomb. And they said Iran IS making a bomb.

The problem is that the Iranians have dug their laboratories so deep that ONLY American bombs can do the job.

One problem. No planes in the Israeli Air Force can CARRY the bombs. Only B-52s and the B1 are capable of carrying such a payload. Each “Super bunker Buster” weights about 30,000 pounds.

So, Iran – if it does not agree UNCONDITIONALLY to the US/Israeli demand to open and COMPLETE INSPECTIONS – then Israel – with the consent of the USA – will attack. It is as simple as that.

Please make sure you read this right. IF Iran DOES agree – then more negotiations are in order. But that will be more evident as we approach the April meetings.

Keep your fingers crossed.

LOOK OVER THERE!

While everyone is laser-focused on gas prices and the economy, the Obama Administration has been making a shambles of our relations overseas.

As I have stated many times before – Without a strong National Defense everything else is a moot point.

And this is where my sources got to the creepy stage.

Iraq is back in the news with terrorist forces now starting to occupy the country again – as predicted in earlier newsletters.

Afghanistan is spiraling out of control. The Taliban will come back the minute American forces turn tail and run. I pity the Afghan women if that really happens.

Pakistan is now almost in a revolution – with American Special Ops “in the area.”

It has just been learned that Special Forces are in Syria and helping to arm and train rebel forces to topple the current regime.

Obama is being laughed at “around the world” when he gave North Korea TONS of food in exchange for not developing nuclear weapons. But, according to my sources, they will eat the food – and then demand more – or threaten to “restart their program.” It is an ongoing “con job” that Obama is playing directly into.

President Obama is now being viewed as the weakest American leader in United States history. Now that encompasses some pretty bad presidents – both Republican AND Democrat.

Obama is viewed in such a light for the following two reasons:

When the Iranian students were BEGGING Obama, and his Administration, to at least SAY something in their behalf when they were demonstrating for Democracy, he “simply voted present.” In other words, he did nothing.

Now, in Syria, with Bashar al-Assad killing ALL who oppose his dictatorial government, Obama again has decided to not get involved. This methodical killing includes opposition leaders, their families and their RELATIVES and FRIENDS.

This is genocide – and America is doing NOTHING.

Thus, the CORRECT impression, that America has a spineless leader at the helm of our Ship of State.

Apparently – according to my sources’ sources – Obama is steaming about being perceived as being weak in the international arena. He wants to be the leader – but simply does not have the proper “physical equipment” to do so.

He now sees his reelection chances hinging on either an UNCONDITIONAL assurance that inspectors can enter ALL known nuclear facilities – or else he will go to war.

Please remember, Obama has one thing in mind – and that is reelection. The last thing he wants is to leave a legacy of a one-term president. Especially, a one-term BLACK president.

Which brings us to another point.

RACISM

Sorry folks, but I did predict that race would be a major factor in a previous newsletter – almost two years before it actually came to the fore – along with abortion and homosexual unions. But the latter two have already been “over-discussed” as one email aptly put it.

I was having a few beers with some friends the other night. One white boy (me) two Americans of Chinese descent and two Americans of African ancestry.

As usually happens in settings like that, race finally came up.

See if you can follow how the conversation progressed. In all honesty, I had a hard time keeping up with the logic – because there was none.

One of the black men said he was going to vote for Obama “no matter what.” The other black man agreed and they toasted each other with their beers.

My two Asian friends kind of looked at each other but said nothing.

Then one of the black men said, “You know, if Obama doesn’t get elected it is because America is still a racist country.”

I reminded him that if it was not for white voters Obama would not have been elected in the first place. Pretty simple math at this point.

“You know what I mean,” said the black man, somewhat irritated that I had said what I said. “If Obama gets defeated by any of those loser asshole Republicans – that just proves that America is still a bunch of racist rednecks.”

“But what happens if he does? I mean, if he gets REELECTED it has to be because of the white vote. He simply can’t do it without them.”

Now listen to his answer:

“Hell, Larry, if Obama gets reelected it is because EVERYBODY wants him to be president. He is the best president America has ever had. And if he doesn’t get reelected, it is because America is racist. Period.”

I laughed and said he should consider being a professor at Berkeley. He just nodded his head – in agreement!

Then he said something pretty startling.

“You know what, bro,” he continued. “If Obama doesn’t get reelected there will be riots in the streets.”

What he said made something finally dawn on me.

THAT is the reason the race card has been played to such an extreme. Obama will use the race card, as will Jackson, Sharpton, and the rest of their ilk, to scare the living hell out of liberal whites into voting for Obama – for fear of race riots all over the country.

Last time Liberals voted for Obama out of guilt. This time they will vote for him out of fear.

I know this sounds extreme – but it DOES fit the ideology of the ultra-Liberal Left. And that is PRECISELY who inhabits the White House at the moment.

This may very well be the next coming event.

Remember, the race card is always dealt from the bottom of the deck.

THE CBO

As my wife sits out in our kitchen trying to figure out how to file our taxes for 2011, I am here trying to wake up my Liberal friends, as well as those Conservatives out there who are still too blinded by misguided “religious convictions” as to what is really going on.

I am SURE you have all heard this news by now – but I can’t find it anywhere in the Main Stream Media.

The CBO (Congressional Budget Office), a non-partisan body with NO affiliation to any political party, has just worked out the numbers on “Obamacare.”

They estimate that it will cost ONE TRILLION DOLLARS MORE than first projected.

Yes, that is $1,000,000,000,000.

The fees for Medicare and Medicaid (taxes), not to mention the cost of health care in general, is going to put many people in the poorhouse – especially if it is MANDATORY.

If, for no other reason, you think this is simply too much to bear financially, then I urge you to vote for anybody but the incumbent we now have in the White House.

A second term for Obama – and our children and grandchildren will be asking the following:

“How on earth did you ever let this happen? Didn’t you do anything to stop it? It’s all your fault.”

And they will be RIGHT.

FINAL WORD

I just wanted to thank everybody for all your kind emails, letters and phone calls regarding the passing of my Mother. It was very much appreciated.

One thing I found extremely interesting. A very large portion of people who wrote said that my Mother sounded just like theirs.

I think there is a lesson to be learned here.

It seems that mothers nowadays are simply too busy with other “issues” to take the time to be “strong but gentle” mothers anymore.

Parents tend to want to be friends with their children – instead of bringing them up with respect for our country, dignity in what they do, and humility in their dealings with the world.

Parents don’t talk with their children anymore. They negotiate with them.

The concept of “self-esteem” has infected our trend of thinking as a nation – and the idea of political correctness with regard to physical discipline – has made this country a nation of whiners and crybabies.

Try spanking little Katlyn in the grocery store for throwing a tantrum – and count the seconds for the Thought Police to show up, arrest you for child abuse – and take the little brat to a government run Child Protection Agency.

What the hell is happening to this once Great Country called The United States of America?

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!

Here is wishing you all a Happy and Safe St. Patrick’s Day.

Once again, thank you all for your kind thoughts.

Until next time.

Keep thinking positive – and never give up!

Less than 300 days until real HOPE and CHANGE presents our last opportunity to Unite America once again!

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from my younger brother, David, and he told me I should call my Mother. According to him she was rapidly going down hill.

I called and had a very nice talk to her. I say “talk to her” because she was too far gone to reply. I heard one of my sisters in the background saying, “She’s smiling.”

I knew then that the Grand Old Dame was fading fast.

Later in the evening my brother called to inform me that my Mother had passed away. And, for the record, I know that the word mother is spelled with a lower-case “m” but in this case I choose to use a capital M instead. My apologies to all you grammarians out there. I will follow the rules from here on out.

Mary Hester Grubbs Klepinger was born in Ohio on February 19, 1917. She lived to see her 95th birthday just a few weeks ago.

The reason I am writing about her is to pay public tribute to her – and all that she did in her life – both for me and for my family. For she was the one who laid down the foundations that I still live by today.

Her strength and courage go beyond what is to be expected of your “average mother,” if there even is such a thing. It has always been an inspiration to me.

She suffered through the Great Depression, worked as a nurse, met my father and they got married shortly thereafter.

Her first two babies were stillborn, but she was determined to have children, even after such a wrenching experience.

She went on to give birth to four healthy children. That included me, up until I turned four years old.

Then I was struck with polio, the whole works. Crippled, lying in bed with a progressively arching back, my parents finally took me to the LA General Hospital, where I was taken care of in an open ward with other children afflicted with all sorts of diseases. The cure for polio had not yet been discovered.

My father finally was able to get me into The Shriners Crippled Children’s Hospital where I received the best possible care at that time.

After a recovery that was termed “a miracle,” my mother would ride with me on the bus downtown to take therapy classes.

One particular afternoon I was in the whirlpool and I complained about the pain. The attendant nurse started to let up but my mother intervened and said, “Don’t be easy on him. We will not have a cripple in our house.”

That may sound harsh by today’s standards – but I can walk to this very day – thanks to my mother’s insistence that I “keep trying and never give up.”

That attitude has stuck with me for my whole life. Her constant encouragement – in a solid, but motherly fashion – kept me going through some tough times.

I remember getting letters from her while I was in Vietnam. Others failed to write, for long periods of time, but not my mother.

After coming home she took me into her bedroom and reached under her bed. What she pulled out startled me.

In an over-stuffed shoebox was every letter that I had written to her while serving in Vietnam. She had saved them all.

Through the years her savvy “life instructions” seemed to always come to the fore.

“Always walk on the outside of the curb when walking with a woman so if somebody hits a mud puddle you can protect her.”

That bit of advice did not pay off until years later when my wife, Akiko, and I had just finished breakfast at Joe’s in Redondo Beach. It was just after a rainy spell and as we walked out to go to our car a truck came barreling up from behind on Pacific Coast Highway and blasted me with water and mud.

I started to laugh. My wife was baffled as to why I was not fuming instead. I told her what my mother had said to me and we both got a kick out of it.

“Clean up you plate, and remember, the poor people in China.”

To this very day I eat everything that is set in front of me.

“If you want to be successful you have to work hard. Nothing comes for free.”

You don’t hear parents say this anymore.

One time I remember in particular. I was about seven or eight years old. I just came home from school and she asked me how my day had been. I told her that I thought a nigger was going to be transferred into my class.

The next thing I knew my arm was wrenched in her hand, I was marched into the bathroom and she SCRUBBED my mouth out with a toothbrush and Ivory Soap saying, “If I ever hear you use that word again I will make you eat the whole bar next time. Let this be a warning, NEVER use that word again.”

And I didn’t.

“Always use good table manners, cut one piece of meat at a time, don’t use your left hand when eating – always your right hand.”

This was to my advantage on many occasions, especially in “polite” company. I am still astounded at the grossness of some people when they are at the dinner table.

She taught me how to tie my shoes, how to tie a fore-in-hand knot in my church tie for Sunday school.

She MADE me say “yes please” and “no thank you.”

I once said, “God damn,” and she looked at me and then pulled a real twist on my head. “I don’t ever want to here you say that again.”

“Why not?” I asked.

“Turn it around and see what it means.”

“Damn God.” I was stunned.

I have never uttered that epithet since. Other “bad” words, yes. But not that phrase.

Another time, when on the bus going down to my therapy class an elderly lady was standing in the aisle. I got up and offered her my seat. I have never seen my mother beam with so much pride. Yet, it was my mother who taught me to do exactly that.

One time I stole some money off of a dresser in one of my mother’s friend’s house and immediately went outside to stop the ice cream man, bought a drumstick and a popsicle. When my mother asked me where I got the money I finally admitted that I had stolen it.

She made me apologize to her friend – “no excuses” – and pay her back with money I made mowing our neighbor’s lawn.

“Don’t cheat and always pay back money that you borrow.”

“Treat others like you would have them treat you.”

In all honesty this has been one that I have not yet been fully faithful to. But I continue to try.

I could go on – and on – but you get the picture.

She was a rock solid – but gentle – mother, always looking out for me – as well as my other brother and two sisters. But somehow I felt a closeness to her that my other siblings did not always enjoy. Maybe that is just my perception. Who knows?

However, I do remember how my mother would stick up for me when my father, who was prone to beat me for no known reason, would step in on my behalf. One time my father got extremely angry with me for something I did not do, went outside into our back yard, cut a hefty crabapple branch off our tree, came back into the house, and proceeded to flail away on my legs. Water welts began to appear.

My mother finally stepped in and said, “You can beat me, Frank, but stop beating Larry right this minute.”

My dad stopped, looked at us both, then stormed out of my room.

There are no grudges held toward my father. He had a very hard life and my mother put up with a lot. They both did.

When I came back from Vietnam they had divorced but still contined to see each other on occasion, until he passed away back in the mid 80s.

The passing of my mom was swift, in her own house – and in her own bed. Exactly the way she had wanted it to be.

She had suffered a stroke just days before and went very quickly after that.

I thanked God last night for taking her without any pain. She never wanted to die in a hospital.

Last night, while out for a walk, the sunset was a gorgeous orange with blue sky just about the horizon.

As the sun went down I had a feeling that this was her last night.

The confirmation came later in the evening from my brother.

My mother is now at rest on the other side of the rainbow.

I feel fortunate to have spoken to her just hours before she left. But even more than that I feel so lucky to have had such a great mother who took the time to teach me how to say, “Now I lay me down to sleep . . . ,” to read Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy at bedtime, to wish me “sweet dreams” and to kiss me goodnight.

If your mother or father are still alive, give them a call just to say hello – and thanks – before it is too late.

Having just returned from a three week business trip to Japan, I was struck with a lot of things.

But first, I want to make a quick comment on some of the private emails I got with regard to my first writing about Japan.

A lot of readers were very quick to point out that Japan is a “homogenous” society – and can therefore attain the miracles that it has – because they are all Japanese.

I have heard this old saw for so long that it is getting somewhat amusing to me that people even say it. On the surface, it is an academic copout. Deeper, it has a very racist tone.

If the Japanese have accomplished what they have done because they are a homogenous society – then what about the countries in Africa, Central and South America? Why is this not said about Korea and the Korean people?

For the most part they are all homogenous – but you never hear this kind of statement about them.

Japan has a history of 2000 years of “clan” fighting. So where does the “homogenous” excuse come into play here?

The simple answer is, it does not.

The real message here is – THE JAPANESE PEOPLE WORK THEIR ASSES OFF.

On this trip we had the occasion to visit Hiroshima, the Dome and also the Memorial Hall and Peace Park.

To see the TOTAL destruction by a NUCLEAR BOMB just a mere 67 years ago, to view the horrendous carnage inflicted upon that city was a real eye-opener.

But the magnificence of today’s Hiroshima is something to behold.

The streets are all in great shape, the people were laughing, shopping and enjoying themselves in the beautiful afternoon sunshine.

The buildings are gleaming, the stores sparkling, the bullet trains, subways, buses and taxis going in all different directions – in an orderly fashion.

The rivers, where once they were full of dead and charred bodies, now run clean – with fish in them.

The resurgence of Hiroshima, as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, is remarkable, to say the least.

But to consider it in its present form in just 67 years after total and complete devastation is a true testament to the Japanese “can-do” spirit.

Other people mentioned that the Japanese can make such advances – because we, the United States of America – are taking up their slack in their own national defense.

This is pure nonsense.

The United States military is NOT in Japan to defend the Japanese. It is there to defend America.

Nancy Polosi once said that, “California is our first line of defense against outside aggression.”

If any aggressor ever makes it to the California shoreline – we are sunk.

Japan is our FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE. Along with South Korea.

Then Guam, Wake Island, the Philippines, and Hawaii.

But even with this known military presence of the United States, very few people realize that Japan has one of the biggest, well-trained and well equipped military in the world – under the guise of the “Japanese Self-Defense Forces.”

So, to say that Japan does not pay for its own military protection is somewhat of a canard.

JAPAN’S NATURAL RESOURCES

Let me list them for you.

1. Water

2. People

3. Money

That is basically it. They have no OIL, GAS, GOLD, COAL or any other natural resources to speak of.

So how can they be the number three economy in the world?

By simple HARD WORK.

People have been saying for two DECADES that Japan has been in a recession.

I beg to differ. What I saw were people shopping all over the place. When we went to the markets they were jammed with people. Everywhere I looked the Japanese were well-dressed, clean, extreme in their politeness, spending money, laughing, drinking – and enjoying life.

Please don’t get me wrong.

I am NOT blind to the undercurrents that surround that nation. But with NO NATURAL RESOURCES you have to start looking elsewhere to explain their tremendous economic success.

A homogenous society and our military presence simply won’t cut it.

If Japan has truly been in a two decade recession – as all the pundits have stated – then we, in America, should be so lucky. Please give me that kind of recession.

The biggest shock when I deplaned back here in America was the comparative “dirtiness” of Americans, their slovenly style of dress, their total lack of manners, their gross obesity, their laziness and their “know it all” attitude.

Yes, I was culturally jolted – and that was just after three weeks. Imagine how I felt when I came back to America after spending 25 years in Japan.

And then there were the “normal” readers who suggested – again and again – that if I liked Japan so much to “go back and live there.”

And that is the point that I would like to address today.

It seems to me that America is getting an “America, Love It or Leave It” attitude again. If this is the case, then that is very sad indeed.

“The true sign of a coward is the man who sees what is wrong with his own country but chooses to remain silent.”

I have often wondered what the world would look like if the Japanese would have “discovered” America – instead of the Europeans.

With their work ethic – and ALL THE NATURAL RESOURCES that America has to offer – it simply boggles the mind what this country might look like today.

My wife and I traveled from the northern tip of Honshu to the southern most part of Kyushu – and saw very few signs of poverty.

Yes, there were homeless, but not all that many – for a two decade long recession.

The streets were safe – all over Japan. We sometimes walked in areas of a town that we were unfamiliar with, yet not once were worried about being shot, knifed, mugged or killed. When we asked directions – at night – people would stop and point us in the right direction. Try that in Chicago, in the dark, and see what happens.

No, I am not all “gushy” about Japan. I am simply stating facts.

Why, here in America, with all our God-given natural resources, are we so far in debt?

Why are our streets and highways systems Third World status, with potholes big enough to cause serious traffic accidents?

Why is health insurance $1500 a month? In Japan, you pay 10 bucks for a doctor’s visit.

Why did the United States government bail out GM – and build the VOLT. How is that for a creative name for an automobile?

The damn car is a pile of shit with wheels on it. It caught fire, they had to recall all of them – and now, just this morning, 1300 people have been laid off of their jobs.

And what about that despicable car company called Toyota? Remember, how SUDDENLY, Toyotas were “dangerous” and causing accidents? And the HEAD of Toyota actually came to America and was forced to testify in front of CONGRESS as to how bad the cars were. And he was forced to APOLOGIZE!

Well, Toyota, has just been named the overall best car in seven out of 10 categories for 2012, according to the most recent edition of Forbes. It even made the cover of the magazine.

We, here in America, are a fat, lazy, dumbed-down, ignorant – and increasingly arrogant – bunch of whiners and bitchers.

I, for one, am totally fed up with the constant demand for ever more government handouts.

The most important helping hand can be found at the end of your arm.

My, very strict, father taught me two valuable lessons early on in life.

Work hard – and to clean up my plate, because all the “starving Chinese have nothing to eat.”

Until America gets back to the basics of working hard we are going to stay in the rut that we have dug for ourselves. If we keep going in the direction that we are now headed for, it will only get worse.

EUROPE’S LOVE OF DICTATORS

I have a lot of “foreign” friends, many of which are from Europe. Nothing pisses them off more than the truth, with regard to America, and Europe’s relationship with the Yanks.

“The problem with the bloody Yanks is that they are overpaid, oversexed and over here!”

This was the complaint during World War I. The war in which we helped our “allies” win.

This complaint was uttered again during World War II. Another war in which we helped our “allies” win.

During the course of many decades Europe has given us Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Joseph Stalin.

Between these three EUROPEAN leaders MILLIONS of people were killed in battle, murdered, raped and pillaged.

Quite a nice historical note when you consider the fact that, so far, America has not had a dictator of such capacity.

And now, Russia has done it agin, by choosing another “iron fist” to rule them, again Putin (who has already put his opponent in jail) – because they simply do not like the burden that freedom demands from it adherents.

President Obama keeps trying to force America down the path of Europe.

But the same problem that affects America has been ruining Europe, with the possible exception of Germany, and that is, again, straightforward hard work.

Germans work hard. The French don’t. Greece was, until very recently, a lazy man’s paradise, along with many other European countries.

The government will give you everything. All you need to do in return – is give up your sovereign individuality.

What I wonder about is, who will come to Europe’s aid in the future – if America is so deep in debt that it cannot even pay for its own defenses – let alone that of Europe.

We are on the brink of another war in the Middle East. I predicted this would happen over a year ago in an earlier American Telegraph. I hope I am totally wrong on this call. Time will tell. But if politics is what I think it is we should know by summer, at the latest.

But if we DO go to war I think it will be a HUGE drain on our resources, not to mention even more good men and women dying in another mindless Middle East war.

But I am reminded by certain people that this could “never happen because Obama is a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.”

I did mentioned dumbed-down, didn’t I?

In another earlier edition I predicted that if the economy starts to turn around – and if gas prices are dwon to about $3 per gallon by election day -Obama would win a second term. The economy is picking up. And gas prices will be down to the $3 level by October 2012 – just in time for the election.

I also said that homosexual rights and abortion would be tied to the GOP. Again, this has happened – much to the delight of the Democrats. Rush Limbugh stepped into it up to his neck – and the polls for Obama just keep inching up. It seems that these people simply do not get it in any way, shape or form.

The GOP of today is run by a bunch of underaged, amateur sycophants.

I will say it again. Obama will win in November if Romney is “appointed” by the GOP – which I also predicted almost a year ago.

This prediction stuff is actually getting pretty easy – once you realize how really inept the Republicans are.

Our only hope is for a brokered convention – but that is looking like a long shot at this point.

And one of my most ardent readers wrote a few days ago to remind me that I also predicted that GM would go bankrupt.

If you care to recheck the back issues to see if this is true, then be my guest. I simply don’t have time.

I have too much work to do. I am fortunate that I am retired.

SOFT TOTALITARIANISM

In closing this edition I would like to posit one last thought.

I have heard a lot of people saying that “if I have to vote for any of the Republican candidates that are now running for president, then I will just sit this one out.”

This decision would be the worst of all actions.

Whether we realize it or not, President Obama is circumventing the Constitution on a daily basis.

His appointments of CZARS – and calling them by that name – is the first step to total control over the American people.

Obama is waiting for his chance to start campaigning ( I mean REALLY campaigning).

He has all the cards in the deck:

Free, unfettered travel.

1,000,000,000 – That is ONE BILLION DOLLARS ready for the campaign.

Free usage of all air time.

The economy IS getting better.

He can play the Iran card at any time.

Gas prices can be manipulated downward in October.

Unions support him, as does the total of the Democratic party.

The Republicans are killing each other, and their money is running out – and it is not even campaign time yet.

Obama is a terrific speaker – and an even more convincing liar, par excellence.

He is the incumbent.

I will state uncategorically, that I will vote for the GOP candidate – no matter what.

Please remember this – and don’t forget it.

WE THE PEOPLE have the one weapon that frightens the present status quo the most – FREEDOM.

But once we let that slip away it is extremely hard to get it back.

So I urge every reader to vote for FREEDOM. If you split the vote, or don’t vote at all – it will be your fault if Obama is reelected. No one else’s.

In 1948 the Dixiecrats (Evangelical Element of the DEMOCRATIC party) walked out of the Democratic National Convention – and slimed their way into the GOP. From that point on it was all downhill.

Yes, the Republicans elected Eisenhower – 2 terms – failed with Nixon in 1960 – failed with Barry Goldwater in 1964 (he was totally marginalized by the Evangelicals in his presidential bid), then failed again with Nixon in 1968 and 1972 (that is spoken with tongue in cheek for those of you too PC to realize it) – won with Reagan twice – got both Bush Senior and Junior – lost with McCain in 2010 – and will fail again in 2012.

I am not blind to the fact as to what the GOP has – and has not – accomplished. What I am saying is that if the convention is not a brokered convention – and if EITHER Santorum or Romney is the GOP standard bearer – then the Democrats win. It is as simple as that.

The GOP – as predicted in a number of previous newsletters – would somehow find a way to bring their two favorite items to the fore – Abortion and Gay Rights (Union/Marriage).

I was ridiculed at the time for saying this. Many readers said that I was off base, “hated” Evangelicals, was a “true Liberal” for thinking that way.

The truth is, I was RIGHT again. It is getting too easy to predict the GOP these days. Let me reiterate:

I said in previous editions that if gas prices come down AND the economy picks up – Obama would win.

This is now happening. All those know-nothings that were saying it is the “economy stupid” were the dumb ones. The economy IS getting better – much to the secret chagrin of GOP insiders.

I also said that the GOP would bring their Evangelical Element into the forefront – and rely on SOCIAL ISSUES for their candidate to succeed.

This is now happening. Rick Santorum is THEIR MAN.

And I will say it now – if Rick Santorum is the GOP nominee – the GOP will go down in spectacular fashion.

I predict, unequivocally, Barack Obama will win in 2012.

That is all I have to say on the subject – except for one final note.

If all this does truly happen – then the Evangelical Element should be expunged from the GOP forever – or, a NEW PARTY should be formed – and eventually eradicate the Grand Old Party for good.

Notice, I did not say a third party – I said a NEW PARTY.

A COMPARISON – JAPAN AND AMERICA

As most of you know, I have lived and worked in Japan for over 25 years. I am now in transit within Japan and would like to make a few casual observations.

But first, a caveat. When I talk to most people in America about Japan, I usually hear the retort, “Well if Japan is so damn good why don’t you go back and live there.”

That is the response of a cultural imbecile.

To criticize your own country for the better is the highest form of patriotism. To deny there is anything wrong is the action of a traitor.

I love BOTH countries – but can see some horrendous failings in America – that most others who have only lived in America have no idea what is actually happening. Let me explain.

Since I have been back I have been – again – astounded at the level of service. The cleanliness of the cities and towns are something to marvel at.

Transportation in this country is simply magnificent. The Bullet Trains (Shinkansen) are a true pleasure to ride, with polite, well-groomed attendants serving cold drinks, coffee – and BEER – up and down the aisles. The Japanese Bullet train has never had a serious train accident. How many of you have ridden American trains recently?

The streets are safe – anytime of the night. And there is not ONE pothole in the whole city.

And the BIG ONE for me was how the Japanese WORK hard as hell. There are no beggars asking for “spare change.” There are no handouts. Their are no whiners and complainers. People here simply buckle down – and work their asses off.

And it shows in every way.

SO WHERE DOES THE DISTINCTION ACTUALLY LIE?

In nutshell – the Japanese Education System.

Japanese students study hard – in elementary, junior and senior high school.

The students are still taught to READ and WRITE. And they do so with proficiency.

Japanese students can do algebra, geometry, calculus and basic statistics – by the time they graduate from HIGH SCHOOL.

Students are required to clean their own classrooms, in many cases wear uniforms, are taught to be polite and respectful, how to work together – and how to look out for one another.

OF COURSE, there are exceptions. But what I have described above is the RULE not the EXCEPTION.

In America, the opposite applies.

Students are hard-pressed to write a coherent paper in legible, handwritten English. Forget spelling, punctuation, and proper grammar. It does not exist.

American student language skills are #26 in the developed world.

American student math skills are #28.

But beyond this, you don’t see slovenly dressed students hanging around after school sucking on ice cream cones or smoking marijuana in Japan. Japanese students are off to more study classes, sports clubs and the like.

And another thing. Japanese students are NOT obese. They eat a good diet and are in relatively good health.

And few, if any tattoos, body-piercings and other such nonsense.

In short, they are taught respect, how to study and work hard, love of country and strong family values.

It is a shame that I cannot say the same thing about America.

AN UNDERLYING CONCEPT

So, does this mean that Japan is the perfect utopia?

Far from it. However, I believe that Japan has come to this state, through a sense of truly understanding HUMAN NATURE.

By that I do not mean from a religious or philosophical aspect. I mean from really understanding what people are all about.

They understand that human beings are infinitely fallible. They can be corrupted by simple acquisition of power.

Japanese politics would make Chicago politicians gnash their teeth with envy.

And that is where the distinction lies. The Japanese people realize that their leaders are corrupt. They ALL are.

Yet, with this corruption, comes a trade off.

As long as the politicians do not take TOO MUCH – then the people are satisfied with that.

Japan has a wondrous transportation system. America does not.

Japan has a national health system that works, is efficient and CHEAP. America does not.

Japan has an educational system it can truly be proud of. America does not.

Japan has one of the best police forces in the world. America does not.

Japan’s murder rate is one of the lowest in the world. America’s is one of the highest.

Japan has one of the strictest immigration policies in the world. America’s borders are basically open.

I could go on – and ON – but you start to get the point.

This society still puts its stock in family values – not abortion and homosexual rights – but REAL family values, like eating dinner together, going to the park together, taking small trips together, talking together and living in relative harmony with each other.

The stark contrast between what America used to be – and what Japan is today – still astounds me.

And yet America insists on going in the wrong direction.

After this trip to Japan, I wonder if America will ever get it RIGHT again.

I just got back from a very quick meeting with my political mentor, and close friend, who has been “guiding” me since my Congressional run in Washington state, in 2004.

I am fortunate enough to live very close to Sacramento Municipal Airport, so I could run out and catch a couple of drinks with him before he caught a “night flier” to destinations “unknown.” I have found out that this airport, along with other locations “off the grid,” are favorite “transit sites” of the “first order.”

This “greying octogenarian” would make us all cringe in embarrassment, with regard to his courage, strength and inexhaustible stamina.

Enough of the accolades.

His time was limited, so I will try to list the essentials in the order that he explained them to me:

1. As predicted, in earlier American Telegraphs, Israel is readying itself for a first strike on Iran. The small articles of America developing BIGGER BUNKER BUSTERS is very true. The USA has these bombs NOW. But they want to make even BIGGER ONES.

2. President Obama has been exchanging “secret letters” with members of the Taliban with regard to the US withdrawal in Afghanistan, for almost a year. There is something “murky” at this juncture – but no one seems to know exactly what the real situation is.

3. The “Biblical” reference that Obama gave today was some sort of “sign” that the attack was on. Obama is NOT a Christian – according to ALL investigative accounts – so his references to the Bible are held in “high suspicion.”

4. Drones are “well-positioned” over, not only Iran, but Pakistan, and Afghanistan, for “reinforcement” measures, if they need to be implemented.

5. President Obama has purposely waited until the last minute to “make his move.” Israel is “in the lurch” with regard to “acting alone” but has the “secret backing” of all “representative allies” in the region.

6. The “Holder Witch Hunt” and the MF Global catastrophe, are sideshows, “designed to deflect attention from the forthcoming WAR with Iran.”

7. The Nobel “Peace Prize” was a “suckers bet” on Obama and the new “Enlightened Administration” and has secretly BACKFIRED on those who pressed for this BOGUS award in the first place.

8. President Obama will “stop at nothing” to obtain his reelection – and will “advance to the core,” if need be, to secure a SECOND TERM.

9. Obama has implemented his policy of CLASS WARFARE – AND RACISM – as the CENTER POINT of his campaign, with a TONNAGE OF WEIGHT on “FAIRNESS” and will “STOP AT NOTHING” to accomplish his goals.

10. The HUGE question remains: What are HIS ULTIMATE GOALS?

Ladies and Gentlemen, that was the substance of my conversation just hours ago.

As I waved goodbye to this austere individual, I realized that I was seeing a man who was on a mission. At that moment, I secretly wished I had the courage that he embodied. He is far above any realm that I could achieve.

The information I have been getting from him is almost perfect. I know – it still must “come to pass ” – but by that time it might be too late.

My colleague “implored ” me to send this Special American Telegraph Edition.

I sincerely hope he is wrong. Only one problem. He has been correct 80% of the time in the past. I dare not challenge his judgement at this time.

I want to start this edition off with an Internet article by Paul Toscano which appears below. It is not all that long and should be read. It gives a very good idea of where the money is – but not a clear-cut picture of where it originally comes from.

Biggest Holders of US Government Debt

By Paul Toscano | CNBC – 20 hours ago

As the U.S. government spends an unprecedented amount of money to fix the economy, there is an equally great need to raise the cash to pay for it. This is accomplished through borrowing, whereby Uncle Sam sells Treasury securities of varying maturity. For investors, government bills, notes and bonds are considered safe because they have a guaranteed rate of return, based on faith in future U.S. tax revenues. The government has been partially funding operations via Treasury securities for decades. This borrowing adds to the national debt, which has recently surpassed $15 trillion and is rising every second. The amount of debt is quickly approaching the federal debt ceiling, a legal limit to borrowing that currently stands at $16.4 trillion. Much of that debt is held by private sector, but about 40 percent is held by public entities, including parts of the government. Here’s who owns the most. Foreign countries listed include private and public investors, according to monthly U.S. Treasury data.

1. Federal Reserve and Intergovernmental Holdings – U.S. debt holdings: $6.328 trillion That’s right, the biggest single holder of U.S. government debt is the Federal Reserve system. The Fed’s system of banks and other U.S. intergovernmental holdings accounted for a stunning $6.328 trillion in U.S. Treasury debt in September 2011 (the most recent number available). The amount is an all-time high as the Federal Reserve continues to expand its balance sheet, partially to purchase U.S. government debt securities. About a decade ago, the total government holdings were “only” $2.5 trillion.

2. China – U.S. debt holdings: $1.132 trillion The largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury securities, China currently has $1.132 trillion in American debt, although it is down from all time highs of $1.173 trillion in July 2011.

3. Other Investors/Savings Bonds U.S. debt holdings $1.107 trillion With the most recent numbers from June 2011, this extremely diverse group includes individuals, government-sponsored enterprises, brokers and dealers, bank personal trusts, estates, savings bonds, corporate and non corporate businesses for a total of $1.107 trillion. Although the level of debt held in U.S. savings bonds has remained basically constant since 2000, the broad category of “other” investors has nearly quadrupled since reaching a four-year low in December 2007.

4. Japan – U.S. debt holdings: $1.038 trillion One of the U.S.’s largest trade partners, Japan is also one of the U.S.’s largest debt holders, currently owning $1.038 trillion in Treasury securities.

5. Pension Funds – U.S. debt holdings: $842.2 billion Pension funds control large amounts of money, reserved for personal retirements, and thus are obligated to make relatively safe investments. This group, which includes private and local government pension funds, holds $842.2 billion in U.S. debt. The private pension fund category also includes U.S. Treasury securities held by the Federal Employees Retirement System Thrift Savings Plan G Fund.

6. Mutual Funds – U.S. debt holdings: $653.5 billion According to the Federal Reserve, mutual funds hold the sixth-largest amount of U.S. debt compared to any other group, although mutual fund holdings have diminished by more than $105 billion since December 2008. Including money market funds, mutual funds and closed-end funds, this group of investments managed about $653.5 billion in U.S. Treasury securities as of June 2011, which are the most recent numbers available.

7. State and Local Governments – U.S. debt holdings: $484.4 billion U.S. state and local governments have nearly a half-trillion dollars invested in American debt, according to the Federal Reserve. The level of investment has remained stable since 2006, moving within the range of $484 billion and $576 billion. The current debt holdings, however, represent the lowest aggregate level for state and local governments since December 2005, when they stood at $481.4 billion.

8. The United Kingdom – U.S. debt holdings: $429.4 billion The U.K. currently holds $429.4 billion in U.S. debt, but the country’s investment has fluctuated dramatically during the past two years. Now at its all-time high (and rapidly increasing), British holdings were as low as $55 billion in June 2008.

9. Depository Institutions – U.S. debt holdings: $284.5 billion As of June 2011 (the most recent numbers available), the Federal Reserve Board of Governors lists depository institutions as holding about $284.5 billion in U.S. debt. This group includes commercial banks, savings banks and credit unions. In 2011, its holdings more than tripled from the 2008 low of $105 billion. Between June and September 2011, holdings for depository institutions fell by nearly $44 billion.

10. Insurance Companies – U.S. debt holdings: $250.1 billion According to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, insurance companies hold $250.1 billion in Treasury securities. This group includes property-casualty and life insurance firms.

End of Article

The key phrase – and dead giveaway is:

“based on faith in future U.S. tax revenues” found, very quickly, in the introductory paragraph of the article.

When first read, this “fact” is very easily glossed over.

The truth is, WE THE PEOPLE will be left holding the bag. In other words, higher taxes are coming down the pike.

Get ready to pay more in taxes – no matter what tax bracket you are in. It is coming, and when it hits, we, as a Nation, might not be able to recover.

As a side note, American Airlines is now in pre-bankruptcy discussions and is trying to negotiate with the unions as to the total abandonment of all future retirement pension funds – four in total.

How will these pension funds be funded? Or are the workers who relied on their pensions just thrown out in the cold.

Ultimately, WE THE PEOPLE will pick up the tab – once again – for the profligate spending, and legal pilfering, of the public at large.

Anytime a corporation goes belly, the United States government has a backup system that picks up the slack – and pays for the pensions of those who are being cut off.

So, the United States government is the last resort to “help” these people in retirement.

But the GOVERNMENT does not come up with the money. WE THE PEOPLE DO.

It reminded me of an advertisement by Rachael Maddow, in which she is standing in front of a huge dam, in which she is proclaiming that, “The government built this dam. We need the government to do this kind of work.”

THAT is how stupid we, as a nation, have become.

The government did NOT build one single dam in the country. Industries and mega-corporations did.

Bechtel Corporation ( Bechtel Group) is the largest engineering company in the United States, ranking as the 5th-largest privately owned company in the America.

Look at that sentence again. PRIVATELY OWNED COMPANY.

This one company alone has undertaken some of the largest construction projects, not only in America, but in the entire world.

The government did not pay a dime. The American taxpayer footed the entire bill – with taxpayer money.

How can we be so dumb as to think that the government builds anything?

Awhile back, my grandson went to a local tourist trap outside of Sacramento, called Apple Hill. It is overpriced to the max, sells apples for $1.29 a pound, when you can buy the same ones in supermarkets for 99 cents, and pawns off apple pies at $15.oo a pop.

My wife and I went there after my grandson did and came away very unhappy with the experience. When I complained as to the ridiculous prices, my grandson piped up and said, “No, grandpa. It was all free.”

When I asked him what he meant, he said on his school excursion everything was free. “We didn’t have to pay for anything. The school paid for it.”

I almost exploded when I heard this. No one at school had told him who REALLY paid for it. I tried to tell him who actually paid – but at 8 years old, it simply did not sink in. To him, everything was simply FREE.

Again – WE THE PEOPLE – get stiffed with the check.

And, therein lies the rub. Children are not being told the truth about who is footing all the bills. They “just know” that it is free.

And the dumbing down of America continues.

HOW REALLY DUMB IS AMERICA?

I have hit on this topic before, but have not really gone to the root of the problem.

I would like to now go a little farther down that path and throw out a few thoughts – and then see what you think.

It is my firm belief that kids nowadays simple don’t know much of anything. They all have a degree in SELF-ESTEEM but little knowledge of anything else.

American kids, when compared to other “advanced countries” place 24th in language ability – and 28th in math agility.

But these kids don’t seem to mind. They have been so dumbed down that they think they simply,”Just know.”

I will not belabor this point. I simply ask that you view the UCLA students being interviewed – and make up your own mind. Please watch all the way through to the end. When you hear what the last girl has to say – as to what she wants to be – you simply will not believe your eyes – let along your ears. Watch her body movement – and the way she talks.

TRUE INFORMATION? ONLY THE SHADOW KNOWS

I have to admit, I know very little about Islam and the Muslim “religion.”

What I do know is that the radical element numbers around 100,000,000. That is ONE HUNDRED MILLION for those of you who are mathematically challenged.

How did I arrive at this number? Actually, pretty simple. A British friend of mine, who lives and works in Japan, casually stated that the radical number of the Islamic faith is roughly “ONLY” 10%.

As statistics tend to play games with numbers, I decided to check it out, on a simple mathematical basis just how much that “only” 10% actually was.

It is estimated that approximately 1 BILLION Muslims inhabit the planet earth.

So, it seems to me that 10% of 1 billion Muslims = roughly 100,000,000 MILLION RADICAL MUSLIMS, give or take a few million.

So, here we are faced with a “peaceful religion” in which ONE HUNDRED MILLION are fanatical nutto cases.

If my math is correct, that means that the total number of RADICAL MUSLIMS are bigger than most countries ENTIRE POPULATIONS.

No wonder our kids cannot do the math. Keep them dumbed down – so they won’t even think about how much danger they are really in.

That being the case, I came across this article below, that was sent to me by an Internet source I subscribe to.

Being that I am totally ignorant of the Muslim “religion” I was wondering if those of you who are more enlightened than me, would care to comment in the blog section of THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH, as to the authenticity of the website below.

I assume there will be at least a few of you who will take the time to respond.

What I am most curious to learn is if this account is even true. Any help would be much appreciated.

COCONUT OIL

I am always indebted to my readers for sending me articles that are not only interesting from a political point of view, but also from a social perspective as well. I am again saying thanks to Naida for the following article that I think ALL readers will be able to benefit from.

I suggest you read it and see if it can help you to lead a more better informed, healthy life.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY

Yes, it is that time of year again. From the looks of things – at least here in sunny California – spring has come early this year. I hope that you all are enjoying the weather in your part of the world and taking life as it presents itself on a daily basis.

GOING TO JAPAN

My wife and I will be traveling to Japan from February 8th to February 29th on business.

I plan on making a special edition from that country. I hope you find the next edition enlightening – and interesting at the same time.

I have been in contact with certain individuals that are privy to information most of us are not even aware of.

These are things that have been brought to my attention, that I was “encouraged” to tell all subscribers of THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH to be aware of.

Here is what I have been able to put together:

BenShalomBernanke will soon be out as the FED Chairman. Gone.

Tim Geithner, the 75th Chairman of the FED, will not seek a second term. Gone.

MittRomney now 30 points ahead of Gingrich in Florida. In just a few days.

Google is apparently going to make all e-mails that use gmail.com as their email server, available for everyone to read. I DO NOT have verification on this, but I was told by very good sources.

The reason for this kind of move is to get a handle on “who is saying what” in the name of National Security. If this is true, it could be devastating to everyone involved.

China has seen what has happened – once the PEOPLE actually could communicate with each other – and finally COORDINATE their actions. They will NOT allow any type of “China Spring” to happen. Speaking of which, more Chinese civilians have been killed while protesting for the freedom of Tibet – yet NOT ONE Media outlet has reported these murders. They have all occurred within the last few days – yet a total Media blackout has been imposed – both here and in Mainland China.

The White House has just authorized unmanned drones to be flown over certain “troubled urban areas” for surveillance purposes – in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I have been told that the USA is closer now to war with a third country, than at anytime since we started fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The two possible targets are Pakistan and Iran. And possibly, as a backup “agent” to Israel.

Iran is in rapid decline.

Venezuela is spiraling out of control, due to the impending death of Hugo Chavez, due to advanced stages of pancreatic cancer.

Egypt is being usurped by the Muslim Brotherhood and will eventually become radically Islamic.

Gold is now over $1700 per ounce.

A number of “big-time” hedge fund managers and money market managers have just sold all their equities and securities, as of today – and are COMPLETELY out of the market.

In President Obama’s State of the Union speech he implied that the government should be run more along the lines of the military, because it is more centrally coordinated – and efficient.

And to top it all off, this video was just sent to me by a reader – who wishes to remain anonymous. I suggest that every reader view this before it is taken down. It will astonish you to see this “unauthorized” video. Click it directly and see for yourself. This – in America.

This Special Edition is not meant to “freak” anybody out. It is only meant to inform. Please try to confirm these topics – and print your findings on THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH blog – for everybody to read.

One person I spoke with actually said that we – America – is at a tipping point – and something might possibly “break” before the November election.

These are some of the points that I have alluded to in past editions – but I thought they would happen closer to election day, possibly in September or October. Now, I am not so sure.

The last “brokered convention” was in 1952 – when the Democrats picked Adlai Stevenson to run against the team of “Sure to Click, with Ike and Dick” – Eisenhower and Nixon. Eisenhower won in a Landslide.

If the GOP is to even come close in 2012 – then a brokered convention is their only hope. If no candidate comes to the convention with enough PLEDGED delegates, then it is possible that this whole mess would actually be cleared up on the convention floor.

I cannot see the GOP expecting anything but defeat if Gingrich is the GOP presidential candidate. He has more baggage than Allied Vans could carry. Nominating him would be political suicide.

As for Romney, he has just about COMMITTED political suicide with his “hemming and hawing” all through the debates. Apparently, he just does not have the “gravitas” it takes to, simply put, “kick ass and take names.”

A few POLL facts

Romney can get some of the Independent vote.

Gingrich will get virtually NONE.

Romney can muster some votes on his abortion stand (as predicted, this “issue” will come to the fore again).

Gingrich will get NOTHING.

Romney is wishy-washy on homosexual unions. (Again, this “issue” was predicted to come up).

Gingrich will be portrayed as a “homophobe.” This is already happening.

So, just considering these few points – Obama scores big on every count.

Another point to consider. The Log Cabin Republicans, a group of very conservative Republicans (but have a different sexual preference) is a very strong force for conservative issues (small government, personal privacy, small businesses, less taxes – and a strong National Security).

This group – along with ALL people who feel it is a “person’s right to choose” will gravitate toward Obama.

The notion that many Evangelicals voted against Romney (because he is Mormon) has now finally come to the surface in South Carolina. Evangelicals are fanatical in their stance on not voting for ANYONE who is “pro-choice” on both sexual preference and abortion. They simply would rather destroy America than vote for a person of this persuasion.

We are in deep, deep trouble – but there is still a way out.

YOU NEED 50% PLUS ONE, TO WIN

This assumption is patently wrong.

In any political campaign the breakdown of votes follows this classical format:

20% of the electorate will vote Democrat – no matter what.

20% of the electorate will vote Republican – no matter what.

These are the people that are referred to as “Die-hard” Republicans and Democrats. They simply vote Party – and NEVER change their affiliation, nor their loyalty.

So that leaves the 60% between the two extremes.

In simple math, the candidate only needs to get 31% of this “Center Vote” to be elected President. (20 + 31).

This is not taking the Electoral College into consideration. You can still have less popular votes and win with the right mix of Electoral votes. This is a system that I think should be abolished – but we are stuck with it for this election cycle whether we like it or not.

The “Center Vote” is made up of MODERATE Democrats, Republicans, Independents and Libertarians.

Then there is the group who does not even vote – but I am leaving them out in the cold – where they belong.

You don’t need 51% of the vote. You are only vying for 31% of the Center Vote. You already have 20% guaranteed to you. It is that simple.

But if you INTENTIONALLY piss off, disenfranchise, alienate or otherwise kick the Center Voters in the teeth, then you will AUTOMATICALLY LOSE. And lose big-time.

It is therefore IMPERATIVE that the GOP keep fighting among themselves – and drag it all the way to the Republican National Convention.

The beauty about a brokered convention is that once the delegates vote for their committed candidate – and if no one wins – then the delegates are free to choose their own candidate from that time forward – and “broker” their delegate votes to the strongest – and BEST – candidate available.

Another good point is that, if the convention actually asks for someone who has already “passed” on running for President, that person would be extremely hard-pressed to deny the wishes of the Grand Old Party – and that of the United States of America.

In all honesty, they would be FORCED to run.

However, if any of the present candidates are chosen before the convention – then Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE.

It is THAT simple. And that is my November Election Prediction.

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER

The information below is an astounding EYE-OPENER to say the least.

In all honesty – when it is presented in this manner – it should scare the living hell out of each and every one of you.

Bear in mind, these people are ALREADY in their positions of power.

NONE have been elected – nor APPROVED OR VETTED – by Congress. Please remember, Obama was NOT vetted by Congress. Yet Senator John McCain was vetted and was required to appear before Congressional Hearings to see if he was Constitutionally qualified to run for President. Not so, Barack Obama.

The following information was sent to me by American Telegraph subscriber and Vietnam Veteran, Doc Dolan.

And to top all this off, it has been rumored – and NOT denied by the Press Secretary – that President Barack Obama has a portrait of Saul Alinsky hanging in the White House. If this is really true, then we are on the verge of a second American Revolution.

Are you really going to allow Obama to have another FOUR YEARS? Are your petty politics and “pet projects” going to allow you to send this Nation down a path – from which it might never recover?

I don’t know about you, but whomever the GOP puts up, I will vote for – even if I don’t agree with a lot of what the candidate has to say.

I love America much more than one or two “firmly held convictions” to allow this group of thugs to ransack my Country – and turn it into something WORSE than the so-called “European Union.”

Without America – there can no longer be an AMERICAN DREAM.

Please, don’t be the one who turns that Dream into an International Nightmare.

I will leave it at that for now. Give this information SERIOUS thought. The fate of America, once again rests with WE THE PEOPLE to get this mob of political miscreants out of Washington forever. The sooner could not be soon enough.

Keep thinking positive, vote for AMERICA – to keep this Country Strong, Brave – and FREE!

I usually don’t write about individuals states, but since I live here and reside in the capital, Sacramento, I thought I would give readers a little insight as to what life is like these days in the Golden State of California.

First, the political scene.

We have Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi as our representatives in government – and of California women in general. Pathetic, to say the least.

Then we have Jerry Brown. Yes, he is governor – AGAIN.

They are ALL Democrats. Rich Democrats.

California is 16 BILLION dollars in debt.

The unions control everything – thus, nothing gets done.

Businesses are fleeing California as fast as they can sell their worthless real estate to the next guy that comes along.

It has the most horrendous laws, governmental regulations, codes, highest gas tax, one of the highest state income tax systems in the country, lousy service, biggest welfare system (welfare recipients get FREE cell phones), largest food stamp recipients, unwed mothers, illegal aliens (who get preferential treatment over California born students) to attend college, and a high crime rate to boot – not to mention headquarters for some of the most notorious ghetto gangs in the nation. The prisons are so packed with violent criminals that the state is turning a lot of them back on the streets because they don have enough room for them in jail.

Not bad, for a start. I could go on indefinitely, but I think you get the picture.

But the really funny thing is that Jerry Brown is going to ASK the voting populous to RAISE their own taxes to help fund even more of the same kind of government in the future. I am NOT kidding. It is on the ballot this coming June to RAISE our own taxes.

My prediction?

Californians will approve it – and taxes will go even higher – to fund more of the same.

Insane? Well, yes it is. But, then again, this is California.

THE STATE OF THE STATE

First, and foremost, I see government employees everywhere I go. Many of them have the gall to post signs out in front of their well-appointed houses proclaiming:

“Government Employee – and PROUD of it”

Notice, it did not say Government Worker.

Yes, there are a FEW workers that are employed by the government – but not that many.

And the ones who do work carry most of the load of the other freeloaders who choose to sit on their over-extended backside and do absolutely nothing.

I was once told that, in private business, 20% of the people do 80% of the work.

It is exactly the same thing in the public sector.

BUT, it is the public sector and WE THE PEOPLE are paying for them to get GUARANTEED retirement, GUARANTEED medical and dental coverage, GUARANTEED pay raises, and, if by chance, they get “furloughed” they get GUARANTEED unemployment checks that can run into multiple YEARS of benefits.

I know a few “furloughed” workers that take more vacations than I do – because I am paying for their “privately funded” vacations.

SO, IS THIS JUST ANOTHER “RANT?”

Not in the least.

My ulterior motive in this edition is to get people to look at the BIGGER PICTURE and see exactly what is going on.

WE THE PEOPLE had better take notice – or it will LITERALLY BE TOO LATE.

When I lived in China for a year, I saw the EXACT SAME THING going on – all around me.

Those in GOVERNMENT employment, were the ones with all the best paying jobs, best food, nicest cars, fanciest homes, paid vacations, ample amounts of sick leave – while the rest of the population PAID for this governmental LARGESS – and were devastatingly poor as a result.

It is happening right here in front of MY EYES.

California, on a smaller scale, is nothing more than a miniature United States of America. And it is in seriously danger of becoming a REAL Third World Country.

A quick drive on any city street – or the total highway system – will prove that statement, with an exclamation point.

California is 16 BILLION DOLLARS ($16,000,000,000) in DEBT. And the governor is asking for MORE money to pay for more government employees to do even less work – with bigger and better benefits, to boot.

ALL UNIONS support Governor Brown.

ALL UNIONS support Barack Obama.

Did I just make a HUGE leap?

No. Not really all that big.

Check any union and you will see that they have funded – in a gigantic way – the re-election of Barack Obama.

Now, remember, ALL these people that are running California – are DEMOCRATS.

All the people running America – are DEMOCRATS.

California is buried in debt.

The United States of America is TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in debt.

Brown is asking for MORE DEBT.

Obama is asking for $1,400,000,000,000 (TRILLION) DOLLARS – to put us even DEEPER IN DEBT.

Is any of this making any sense whatsoever?

Doesn’t anybody even THINK – for themselves – anymore?

APPARENTLY NOT

When my wife and I were in China, we were told that “all we had to do was ask for what we want” and it would be granted.

Of course, we were of the “elite” foreign teacher’s group – so we were treated much differently – “just like government employees.”

But, just a minute here folks.

The “PEOPLE’S” Republic of China is a COMMUNIST COUNTRY. Everybody is supposed to be treated EXACTLY the same.

Ladies and Gentlemen – that is NOT how the world works. Those who can get, TAKE – and those who can’t – GET TAKEN.

WE THE PEOPLE are getting taken for the biggest ride of our lives.

And, believe me, this is just the beginning.

If Barack Obama is reelected, it will only get worse.

But, are the Republicans any better?

Hell no. They are exactly the SAME.

And THAT is my point.

They are all in this together.

Except one man – Ron Paul.

I know – “He will never beat Obama.”

Remember, on a cold, chilly day, in 1903, when a crazy guy named Wilbur, climbed onto his contraption that propelled him into aviation history?

Everybody did NOT go to Kitty Hawk to see the Wright Brothers airplane succeed.

They went there to be witness to their total buffoonery. The townspeople went there to watch them FAIL.

But the Wright Brothers had the last laugh on all those who said it could not be done.

How in the hell do you know something can’t be done – until you try it?

Although I DO NOT agree with Ron Paul on his stance with regard to Iran (and I do think he would modify his position if elected President), I simply have to admire the guy for his CONTINUED GUTS – and profound honesty.

Has anyone noticed that Ron Paul has not had ONE scandal thrown at him?

Has anybody EVER accused him of changing his position, flip-flopping, dodging questions – or having sex with one of his subordinates while heads of state were waiting outside his office door?

It simply HAS NOT happened.

Don’t you think that, by now, somebody would have come up with something against the man? At least, tapping the foot of the guy in the next stall in a public restroom?

The CIA? The FBI? The Military? The GOVERNMENT?

But there is nothing, not a damn thing that I am aware of. If any readers have any dirt on Ron Paul – please forward it to me ASAP. It will be breaking news of the first order.

RON PAUL’S BIG MISTAKE

No, it is not his position on international affairs.

His big mistake is in THREATENING the MONEY MACHINE of the FEDERAL RESERVE.

And if, by chance, he does get the nomination, he will be targeted for assassination – as were both Lincoln and Kennedy – for their total abhorrence of the Central Bank of America.

Ron Paul is speaking the truth.

The most threatening factor to any Status Quo is not so much the truth – but the truth being BELIEVED by WE THE PEOPLE.

THAT is where the fear is to be found.

And Ron Paul’s message is FINALLY getting out – after 30 years of him saying exactly the same thing – over and over again.

My first REAL, personal political hero was Barry Goldwater.

My second is Ron Paul.

But up until recently, I was one of the jerks that said I love the guy – but he can’t get elected.

And the Wright Brothers airplane couldn’t fly, either.

POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING

Have you ever wondered why they have Positive Thinking Seminars all over the country – ALL the time?

Why don’t they have Negative Thinking Seminars?

Because 80% of the people (those who do little or no work) LOVE to think Negative.

Misery loves miserable company.

So, here is a personal challenge.

If you have a sour puss – you will have a sour outlook on life.

For the next 10 days I dare EVERYBODY to smile at everybody you talk with, meet on the street or in any way come into contact with.

I guarantee that if you give a smile – you will get one in return.

Is this some sort of “self-awareness” bullshit?

Not in the least. What I am trying to instill on every reader is that if you think POSITIVE and ACT POSITIVE, you will get POSITIVE RESULTS.

And this is precisely what Ron Paul has been doing for the total of his political career. And his message is JUST NOW starting to sink in.

SOME OF RON PAUL’S IDEAS

He wants to cut down on GOVERNMENT POWER. So do I.

He wants to cut down on GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT OVERSEAS. So do I.

He wants to get the GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR LIVES. So do I.

He wants to BALANCE THE FEDERAL BUDGET. So do I.

He wants to ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE. So do I.

He believes in the United States Constitution. So do I.

He believes fervently in the 2nd Amendment. So do I.

He believes in the Sovereign Individual – as opposed to Big Government. So do I.

These are just a few of his concepts and ideas.

Will they fly?

Wilbur did.

THE RICH, THE MEDIA, THE UNIONS HATE RON PAUL

Remember Ron Paul, in one of his debates, got exactly 89 SECONDS to speak.

The media portray his as a political gadfly – and push him aside with arrogant disdain.

The rich brush him off as some sort of curmudgeon – a silly old man who is completely nuts.

The unions are scared to death of him – because their total life-support system would be put into jeopardy, if he were to actually be elected President.

So who does that leave?

WE THE PEOPLE.

If WE, for once, think for ourselves, and completely ignore what the GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED MEDIA is telling us, if WE act in a positive manner, and VOTE in the greatest numbers ever imagined, then Ron Paul COULD – no, my mistake – WOULD be our next President of the United States of America.

It is estimated that on any given presidential election – 40% of WE THE PEOPLE – do NOT even vote.

Imagine, if those same people would – for once – THINK POSITIVE enough to get up off their lazy asses and vote.

WE THE PEOPLE are the only HOPE that Ron Paul has.

As always, it is up to the good citizens of America to do the right thing.

So, when you are in the voting booth, or sitting at home agonizing over who to vote for that can beat Obama, go to Ron Paul and vote for him. Don’t waste your vote on anybody else.

You know in your HEART that he is right.

And the RIGHT thing to do is to vote for Ron Paul.

That is it for now.

Best wishes – and Keep Thinking Positive!

http://www.theamericantelegraph.com/?p=949#commentsSun, 08 Jan 2012 19:28:43 +0000http://www.theamericantelegraph.com/?p=949A THANK YOU FROM JAPAN TO THE WORLD

On this Sunday morning, with everything we all take for granted – from hot and cold running water to gas and electricity in our safe and secure homes – I thought I would send this Special Edition from Japan, saying “Thank You” to the world.

In an earlier newsletter, just after this horrendous event occurred, I predicted that Japan, and the Japanese people themselves, would pull through – and be well ahead of those unfortunate ones who were victims of Katrina, years ago. It is sad commentary indeed, that America still has not dealt with this catastrophe in the proper manner.

In roughly nine months this is how Japan looks today.

I urge you all to view the link below – and to consider how the Japanese decided to deal with this, almost Biblical in proportion, tragedy – and to admire their grit and determination in getting themselves back on their own feet.

Having spent 25 years in that great country, you might now get an inkling as to why I still hold a special place in my heart for Japan and the Japanese people. Simply put, Japan is my second home.

I thank Billy Joe and Maria Reynolds and their friend, Richard Lamb, for forwarding this site to me.

I have to be honest. I have taken a lot of heat from readers who think I am being too ” I told you so,” in my predictions – and in referring to them at later dates as to their accuracy. So, I decided to wait until after the Iowa “caucus” to write this first newsletter of 2012.

I was honestly hoping that Rick Santorum would win – and I could finally say, “Well, I was wrong.” But it didn’t happen – and it was never going to happen.

Sometimes it is too easy to “see” what is going on. Yes, it is that obvious – if you choose to read. listen, understand and get involved. If you don’t, you won’t. It is as simple as that.

Enough of the obvious. As I see it, here is where we stand at the moment:

1. Romney will win the GOP nomination. Then the REAL question is, who will be his running mate.

Romney cannot pick Huntsman, Gingrich, Santorum or any of the other “candidates.”

Chris Christie, Marco Rubio and a few other names keep popping up.

But if Romney picks Scott Brown – he might have a chance. But I do not think the GOP would go for that because the Evngelical Element simply would not allow it. And, if that were to happen, the Evangelicals would stay home and pout – as they have done to the detriment of the country in the past – and Obama would be swept to a second term.

2. If Romney tries to “hit” Obama on the economy – it would be a colossal mistake. Obama is going to portray the economy as coming back – albeit very slowly.

And that is what I predict will actually happen. The economy is coming back, but at a crippled, snail’s pace. But it is coming back.

Housing is finally starting to at least slow down in its steep decline.

Unemployment will “tick” down in the coming months. The economy is NOT the way to defeat Obama. It is only PART of the equation.

3. Romney must focus direct attention to the International arena – and with emphasis on NATIONAL SECURITY. Obama is very weak in this department and can be “hit” from this angle.

Also, Romney should spell out a SIMPLE tax reform that would knock the legs out from under Obama. Not simply say to REFORM the tax code – but spell out a workable solution in black and white – for everybody to see – and understand.

Romney should raise the question of abolishing the FED. It has done nothing but padd its own pockets – while making everybody else pick up the tab.

Finally, Romeny should not even mention Obamacare. If he does, then he is doubly sunk. The farther away he positions himself from healthcare, the better.

But, I predict again, that Romney does not have the where-with-all to step this far out on a limb. The GOP is even less inclined to show this type of leadership.

As for Obama:

1. President Obama is going to keep pounding the “Rich v. Poor” class warfare as we approach 2012. It is working, and the American people are just dumb enough to buy into it – especially those who are on the receiving end of all the “free” entitlements.

2. President Obama will also keep throwing out the race card – from time to time – through his proxies working on his campaign reelection committee – not to mention his “Justice Department.”

3. Obama will keep up the rhetoric with regard to Iran – as predicted in earlier editions – and will use that as a pretext to military action – if the situation presents itself.

4. Obama will tout the change in direction of the economy to an upward trend – as predicted before – and will plead for just “four more years” to “save” America.

The International Scene:

Countries throughout the Middle East realize that Obama is a weak leader. As I write, the Middle East is in a shambles.

Syria is falling apart. Egypt is “recognizing” terrorist groups to sit in their government – again as predicted.

Iran is already infiltrating the borders of Iraq (according to very reliable resources) and Israel is preparing for war – “just in case Obama backs down again.”

Africa is a mess, China is making SERIOUS moves to counter the American Naval presence in Asia – and Russia is salivating at the prospect of four more years of a President who insists on leading “from behind.”

A SURPRISE IS COMING

Remember, we are dealing with the Chicago Political Mob, when we talk about the present occupiers of the White House.

To make this point perfectly clear, have you heard anything about more Toyota cars being recalled? Maybe even one? Of course not. Japan clearly noted that they should pay the “hush money” and get on with business.

Extortion is one of the main cogs of any criminal organization.

How about GM and the money it got from the taxpayers? Did anybody actually get a rebate check in the mail? And what about the Volt – and their battery problems? GM is a fiasco in the making – and it will cost US Taxpayers even more money in the future. But, that is a prediction for another time.

And then we have Jon Corzine (a huge Obama supporter and personal friend) saying, “I have no idea where the BILLION dollars went.” Imagine, a CEO of any corporation saying something this this insidious – and getting away with it. The Media is mum on this one. And another prediction – Corzine will NOT go to jail. Criminals take care of their own.

Please bear in mind that Obama has privy to a bankroll to reelect him that would choke an Elephant (the GOP) let alone a horse.

Obama is the incumbent – and once the DNC finds out who their opponent is – they will unleash the Media with a ferocity that will astonish even the most seasoned political observers.

And Obama has a few more plays that he can put into action.

He could very well solidify his election by easing Joe Biden aside, having the VP say he wanted to spend more time with the family. This is always a crock of garbage – but in these PC times who would dare challenge any person for wanting to spend more “quality time” with the family?

Then he could insert Hillary as his VP and sew up his reelection in one political masterstroke.

I am not sure if this will happen, because I still believe she is in play for 2012. She is just biding her time to see who the GOP contender will be.

And the longer this GOP political charade keeps going – the stronger Obama becomes – and the weaker Hillary Clinton’s chances will be.

But the real twist to this whole “operation” is that IF Romney actually starts to take Obama apart on his foreign policy – National Defense – and his “leading from the rear” – the President still holds the option of a “first strike capability” on Iran – in October.

Then he says, “With reference to National Security, and for the protection of our good friends in Israel, we have launched a “strategic attack” on Iran’s nuclear facilities. We must continue to defend Democracy whenever the case arises. After all, we are the leaders of the Free World.”

Who the hell is going to disagree with that kind of argument?

But look closer. You notice that Obama will now call Israel a good friend, thus solidifying his Democratic Jewish Base – just in time for the 2012 Election.

And bear in mind, the 5th Fleet is well within range of Iran. You do not move in the big artillery into position just on a whim. It takes time to position huge ships for battle – and the logistics needed to support that type of operation.

Obama knows exactly what he is doing. Short-change this man at your own peril.

OBAMA IS A “ONE-TERM” PRESIDENT

I think that the next person that says this to me is going to get hurt.

NOTHING could be further from the truth.

I will say it again. If ANYBODY believes this, then they should pack up their bags, sell the house and move to another country, ASAP.

Obama is going to be EXTREMELY hard to beat. And it is even more so, my humble opinion, that he will win in 2012 – by a landslide – if things don’t change – and change FAST.

SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

I hear this all the time. My answer is a simple Maxim that I have employed from time to time:

“I do, because I will.”

Since this is the New Year, I thought I would end this portion of The American Telegraph with a few suggestion as to what you should do.

1. Find out who your Congressional AND Senatorial GOP candidates are and GO DOWN to their Headquarters and VOLUNTEER 10 hours a week to defeating their opponents.

2. Also, find out who your STATE Senatorial and Legislative Representatives are and GO DOWN to their Headquarters and VOLUNTEER 5 hours a week to defeating their opponents.

3. Volunteer to go door-to-door, hand out literature, open your house to have “coffees” for the candidates in your area, offer to lick stamps, fold and stuff envelopes, run errands, drive around the neighborhood honking your horns with BIG signs on your cars, wear campaign buttons, talk to people in stores, at your workplace – and on the streets.

4. In other words, get off your lazy ass – VOLUNTEER and GET PHYSICALLY INVOLVED.

5. And for crying out loud, vote for whoever the GOP candidate is in November – and don’t sit at home to “teach the GOP a lesson.” Now is not the time to act like a spoiled brat. Now it the time to act for America.

I know, most of you will have a plethora of excuses not to do any of the above. And that is the difference between those who “do” and those who “don’t.”

I submit to you, if every reader would do what I have suggested above, Obama and his minions can be defeated in 2012. But if you choose not to get involved then it is only one person’s fault – YOURS.

I speak from actual experience. I know how much it costs – in both time and money – to get involved. Running for Congress was a real toll on my own life and personal fortune. But it was one of the best experiences that I have ever had the pleasure to go through.

At least I can say, with pride, that I gave it my best shot. And I am still trying.

I hope you will make this your 2012 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION:

Get POLITICALLY INVOLVED in 2012 to defeat those who now occupy the Executive Branch of OUR Government – and in so doing revive America for the sake of WE THE PEOPLE.

WE may not get another chance. It is up to YOU.

BEGINNING OF ARTICLE NUMBER II

Below, is a continuation of the United States Constitution, beginning with Section 1. In the next edition we will continue with Section 2.

Article. II.

Section. 1.The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; a quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President [Modified by Amendment XII].

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected [Modified by Amendment XXV].

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: — “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Not only did they mismanage their candidates to the point of abject amusement, they have now managed to paint themselves into the ANTI-TAX break corner.

Don’t ask me how they managed to get themselves into that position because I have no idea how they did it.

In a previous newsletter I lamented the poor choice for chairman of the RNC, Reince Priebus. He is obviously in way over his head. I listen to him talk and I shudder with embarrassment. He sounds like a male cheerleader for the local high school football team.

Where the hell did this guy come from? Yes, I know, Wisconsin. But what I mean is, can this be the highest caliber of Republican “leadership” that is available – from all across America?

If the GOP actually thinks that this type of stewardship is going to win in 2012, then I feel sorry for them.

Obama is very BEATABLE – but not with ANY of the current candidates – save Jon Huntsman.

But the Evangelical Element simply does NOT want a Mormon as the leader of this country. Elmer Gantry, yes. A Mormon, no way!

We are witnessing the disintegration of the the Grand Old Party right before our eyes – and with it the destruction of America as we know it today, not too far behind.

As I write, President Obama is telling America – and they are listening – that it is the GOP’s fault for being AGAINST a tax cut for the Middle Class. How did the GOP “leadership” ever allow this to happen is beyond my comprehension.

I have heard all the excuses, and have had some fairly heated arguments in recent days, but PERCEPTION IS REALITY.

Obama is a master of this type of political gamesmanship. And he knows that the “average” American is just stupid enough to believe his lies – again. And THAT is the problem that the GOP consistently fails to understand.

“A new pair of shoes, a full tank of gas” are the exact words that Obama is using as I write. He is FOR the Middle Class – and the GOP is AGAINST the Middle Class.

How in the hell was this ever allowed to happen? Is the GOP even awake?

As for Obama’s reelection, as predicted, he is on the upswing.

And I have offered to all those, who I have made 2012 election bets with, to double our current wagers. More and more every day, Obama is looking like he will win reelection.

By the way, my offer to “double down” has not been accepted by ONE person thus far.

I am afraid that WE THE PEOPLE are in for a very rude awakening.

MORE CHANCES MISSED – “LEADING FROM THE REAR”

Obama missed a perfect chance in Iran a few years ago when Iranian protesters BEGGED President Obama to, at least, lend his support in their effort to take down the current Iranian regime.

Obama remained silent.

While most of America is worried about the economy (which, by the way IS getting better), the Middle East is on fire.

Again, as predicted, Egypt is ready to fold – and give power to Islamic extremists.

Syria is actually MURDERING its own citizens in the streets – no one even says a WORD?

Where is Obama? Where is Hillary Clinton? Where are WE THE PEOPLE?

China has just closed down most Twitter and Facebook connections to deal with riots that are now occurring all over Mainland China.

What has Obama said in the protestors behalf?

Absolutely nothing.

How much coverage of this have you seen on the MSM?

Now, we have North Korea, with a new leader – whom I predict – will turn out to be the most notorious leader of that country since its inception.

According to sources that know the situation well, the youngest son is completely nuts – to put it mildly.

So what is Obama doing about the situation that is in flux at this very moment? Nuclear flux, I might add? Not a damn thing.

And the “victory” in Iraq? Again, as predicted in previous newsletters – Iraq is rapidly failing as a Nation State. In time it will be overtaken by radical Islamists – and our war effort in that country will be a total failure. Killings and bombings are on the rise.

Seen this in the Media recently? Of course not.

Now we have to witness Afghanistan go through the same torture – again. When our troops finally leave (withdraw) it will only be a matter of time before the radical Islamic movement takes control – once again.

Where is Obama on this? What about the Mass Media?

I remember, during the Vietnam War, the Media had BODY COUNTS EVERYDAY.

Every morbid description, every detail, every MISTAKE was run across our TV screens 24 hours a day.

Why not now? Where is our President on these pressing INTERNATIONAL issues?

As a retired two-star, Army General friend of mine recently stated:

“Only an asshole leads from the rear.”

A FEW FACTS AND FIGURES FOR READERS TO PONDER

Of the 97 freshman Republicans elected in the 2010 midterm elections, four of the 12 senators (33%) and 31 of the 85 representatives (36%) are Roman Catholic.

Five Republican-appointed justices now sit on the Supreme Court; all five are Catholic.

SOURCE: Investor’sBusinessDaily, Monday, November 28, 2011, page A6

Where is the Main Stream Media on this?

Well, maybe the following will give you a little insight.

If you control the press you, in essence, can control not only public opinion – but also National Debates.

In the United States, it is reported that all major TV and radio stations are owned by a half dozen men.

All newspapers and news magazines get their information from only TWO wire services: Reuters and the Associated Press.

According to other sources, Reuters has been under the ownership of the Rothchild family for over one hundred years. I have been told that the Rothchild consortium now OWNS the Associated Press – but, for some reason, I cannot confirm this. If true, we are very far up shit creek.

What in the hell is going on here? Whatever happened to Freedom of the Press?

Does anybody know that it is purported that John Kerry is a cousin to George W. Bush?

Can all this really be true? If so, why does nobody know anything about it?

Maybe, the Main Stream Media simply does not want you to know – because they “just know.”

Once we begin to put the pieces together things get very murky indeed.

We begin to see World Order Banks. World Order Insurance Companies. Are they all really in this together?

Speaking of which, AIG received billions of taxpayer bailout money. Why? Because AIG is purported to be the biggest insurer of – all of the United States Congress’s pension funds, retirement PORTFOLIOS, plus FREE medical and dental INSURANCE plans for the rest of the member’s lives. And that includes their families, too.

While millions of Americans have no medical or dental insurance – for lack of money – WE THE PEOPLE are forced, by LAW, to pay these professional leeches a retirement package that the “average person” can only dream about.

And WE THE PEOPLE are just now wondering why this great Country of ours is damn near bankruptcy?

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

This is the time to be merry and enjoy the gifts that pervious generations have given to us here in America.

I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine who is of Chinese heritage. He visited the Mainland sometime back and when he came home he marveled at how LUCKY he was to have been born in America – NOT China.

Those who have never been out of the United States have no idea what a gift this Great Nation is – not only to WE THE PEOPLE – but to all freedom loving people throughout the World.

My apologies for interfering with your daily work schedule, but I find myself pulling overtime to try to lay out as many “creative” ideas that come my way.

Sometimes I go for a week or so with nothing. Then suddenly, I get blindsided by an epiphany that is just too strong to let go by.

Such is the case in this Special Edition.

Please bear with me and see if we can tie all this together – or at least some of the loose ends.

By all counts, most colleges and universities are run by Liberal educators. If we can work from this one, simple assertion, then some of this starts to make sense.

During my 2004 campaign for Congress, my wife and I were at Western Washington University during their political campaign week.

While handing out our pamphlets I decided to approach the Democrat’s table. When I handed one of my campaign papers to the young worker manning the section, he looked at me with a snide curl to his lip and flipped it back at me.

“Don’t need it. I already know what it says,” he snarled.

Quite frankly, I was somewhat taken aback with his response, so I asked, “How can you know what it already says, if you haven’t even read it?”

“I just know,” came the defiant reply.

Up until this very day, I was at loggerheads as to how this type of feeling has been propagated and have finally come up with a somewhat belated answer.

Most kids nowadays have been told WHAT to think – as opposed to HOW to think.

And this “educational” indoctrination started LONG ago.

I remember when I was in elementary school and my teacher asking, “What do you want to be when you grow up? A fireman? A policeman? How about a teacher?”

This type of LEADING thought process is the first step in the total indoctrination program. It is used in a very subtle manner – NOT by force – but by cloaked SUGGESTION.

Please notice: All the jobs SUGGESTED were GOVERNMENT/UNION jobs.

I NEVER ONCE had a teacher ask, “How many would like to grow up to own your own business? How would you like to work for yourself, set your own hours, be in charge of your own lives.”

I know, that question would not come up in elementary school – but the concept of working for a SECURE – GOVERNMENT JOB – was implanted EARLY in life – and has now taken FULL root, big time.

Government/Union employment has almost bankrupt our country. But that is not the real UNDERLYING problem.

Remember, the college kid who, “Just knew” what I was talking about?

THAT is what I am concerned with today – and have to get it done before I forget my train of thought.

The American GOVERNMENT, “Just knows” what is best for us.

But where did this type of thinking actually originate from?

It came from Europe – and the hypocrisy behind the thinking is horrendously morbid in the total sense of the word.

When our REAL Founding Fathers came to America it was basically to seek religious freedom. Let’s work from that assumption – and not get into the politically correct crap that is pervasive at the moment.

The countries in Europe were, in essence, controlled by either The Church (Catholic) or by various Monarchies.

Bear in mind – neither are business minded in nature. They were supported by either donations or TAXES – on the merchants and WORKING CLASSES of the time.

Neither the Monarchy nor the Church actually worked for any money whatsoever. They felt they were ENTITLED to it.

The Church proclaimed to be “ordained by God.”

The Monarchies pretended to be in power because of Divine Providence. They, too, professed to be “ordained by God.”

Then came “separation of Church and State” – the Protestant Reformation (King Henry VIII) – and his decision to “make a new religion “PROTEST-ant” as versed to Catholic doctrine. King Henry wanted a divorce, and the Catholic Church would not permit it – because they, “JUST KNEW better.”

But the King felt he JUST KNEW better, too, and so the separation was finalized.

But Europe still had TWO sections of society – that proclaimed to, “JUST KNOW.”

Now, go to Karl Marxand FrederickEngels.

Marx was the writer – who, “Just knew.”

Frederick Engels was the CAPITALIST who supported Marx as he wrote the basic tenets of Communism.

Frederick Engels also believed that he, “Just knew.”

Please notice, when you, “Just know” – that is basically the end of any conversation. If you, “Just know” then all the logic, all the counter arguments that you can avail yourself to – are merely WAVED OFF.

Liberal professors have been waving off Conservative Thinkers for 50 years now. This is one reason why there are so FEW tenured professors who are AMERICAN VETERANS.

SO HOW IS ALL THIS RELATED TO EUROPE?

Very simple. Europe has BOTH the concept of CHURCH as the “Official Religion” and Monarchy as the STILL OFFICIAL – head of many states.

Of course, Europeans will adamantly deny that this to be true. They will say that most Monarchies today are merely “Ceremonial” and nothing more.

That is a PURE EUROPEAN LIE.

All one needs to do is observe the annual MEETING OF THE MONARCHIES held in different locations every year at some designated location in Europe. Monarchies, the world over, ALWAYS attend this “conference.”

Yet, America has NEVER HAD an Official Church – nor a Monarchy (after the Revolutionary War).

When King George III heard that George Washington refused to be crowned King of America, he said, “Who is this man who refused to be King? I want to meet him.”

Isn’t it strange that BOTH Monarchies and Churches are FULLY TAX EXEMPT enterprises?

Yet, Queen Elizabeth is one of the richest women in the entire world.

And the Catholic Church, along with most other “religious organizations” are swimming in money.

Look at the Mormons if you want to see some REAL money – that is not taxed one iota.

So, how can this be?

It is very simple, when you look at it from the egotistical spectrum of that errant breed of humanity that proclaims to, “Just know.”

As for Europe being a thorn in America’s side – from the beginning – is precisely why George Washington warned against getting involved in European affairs.

He actually really DID KNOW.

America has come to the aid of Europe in World War I and also in World War II. Yet, Europe is – again – in complete financial shambles.

Enter again, the resurgence of Socialism and now a new movement of Communism.

Not only do neither of these political philosophies work – but they were destined to total demise for one SIMPLE reason.

Neither of them take into consideration the cancerous DNA inherent in the human spirit – that of unbridled greed.

Thus, King George III’s astonishment, when he heard that “our” George refused to let himself be crowned King. George Washington, “Just knew” what King George did NOT KNOW.

But Europeans have held a jealous grudge about America from its inception.

The London Book was taking bets that the American Revolution would not last 90 days. After all, England ruled the land AND the seas. The sun never set on the Empire.

Again, the British helped finance the South during the Civil War – and was taking another bet that it would not last six months – and that America would again fall apart – and then come back to England begging for the Empire to let them in.

During World War I AND World War II there was a saying that, “The Yanks are overfed, oversexed – and over HERE!”

They conveniently forget that if we had not been “Over There” they would all be speaking German – or simply dead.

The Maginot Line lasted less than 30 days. The French were defeated before they even got started.

These are things that rile ALL Europeans when brought up in “civil discussions.” To this day I have British friends that say they could have beaten German on their own.

Some people, “Just know.”

WHERE WE ARE NOW

As I write, I watch the European “Community” getting ready to eat crow – again.

The Euro was destined to failure. And, believe it our not, I predicted this almost two years ago. That is the nice thing about having a running archive of every American Telegraph I have written – for everybody to pursue at their own leisure.

The point is, WE THE PEOPLE are on the verge of bailing out Europe – ONCE AGAIN.

And the World Bank will do the final financing – with US Taxpayer Money.

But the Euro simply will not survive – because the Europeans STILL do not get the concept of HARD WORK, SAVING MONEY – and PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.

Not only is Greece done, but France and Germany are now ready to lose their AAA rating.

And yet, we have George Soros, and his ilk, telling everybody that the world needs – and should have – ONE BANK – AND ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.

Why?

Because he, “Just knows.”

He has NO facts to back up his claim. He feels he does not need them.

And, if I am not mistaken, George Soros was destined to go to prison in Europe – but bought his way out with hundreds of millions of dollars as a quid pro quo bribe. This bastard should be in jail – but he is free because he literally bought his way out of prison.

President Obama feels exactly the same way about himself – and what is best for America.

He, “Just knows.”

Thus, every time he cannot get Congress to go along with his foolish plans – he simply passes a Presidential Order – because he, “Just knows.”

Obama’s arrogance is not unique to this type of thinking.

All tyrants of Europe, “Just knew” what was right. I do not need to remind anyone that Hitler came from the most “philosophically advanced” country in Europe at the time. Mussolini came from the cradle of European art.

They, “Just knew.”

One thing they did not know is that they were completely wrong.

Europe has been a disaster from the beginning. They STILL hate each other.

And this is the UNIQUE CONCEPT that other people STILL don’t get about America.

Of course, America has a sordid past. What country is without blame?

But WE THE PEOPLE have the courage and stamina to correct our mistakes as we go along.

It took Switzerland until the 1970s to grant women the right to vote!

Yes, America STILL has a race problem, a huge divide between rich and poor, and a slew of other pressing troubles. But what do you expect with every race, religion, creed and color living here – yet living IN RELATIVE PEACE? That in itself shows how unique America really is – compared to the rest of the world.

American has the Second Amendment. If Europe had a similar statute, one half would kill the other half.

And please don’t be stupid enough to remind me that Switzerland has guns and their murder rate is very small. They also have no where near the public diversity that America has. Immigration into Switzerland is VERY strict.

Thus, it goes. The Liberals (college and university professors), “Just know.”

This arrogance of innate knowledge has gotten to the point that we are now saddled with a President that, some say, is illegally holding office at this very moment.

But how could that happen?

Simply put, the powers that be, “Just know.”

Obama was put into this position, some say illegally, yet nothing has been done about it.

Why not?

Because those same Liberals who believe that GOVERNMENT is the answer to all our ills – instead of the cause of most of them – simply, “Just know.”

The Euro will fail – because they do not have ONE SINGLE CURRENCY.

In all of the 50 States of America – there is ONE currency. We don’t have a New Mexico Peso, an Oregon dollar, etc. It is the Greenback – and that is it.

And America – once it wakes up to the near suicidal election of a person who is, at the very least, questioned as to whether he is even eligible to hold the office of President – will emerge even stronger and more resolute than before.

Obama can NOT destroy America. Only Americans can do that.

And that is the real bone of contention with Europe – and to a lesser extent – the rest of the World.

Jealousy is the step-sister of Greed.

America will prevail – once WE THE PEOPLE wake up and realize what the hell is really going on.

SO, WHAT IS “REALLY” GOING ON?

There is a move afoot, to fashion America into a United States of Europe.

Government has gotten so big now that it feeds 15,000,000 people EVERYDAY.

Homelessness is at an all-time high.

Inflation is just STARTING to take off.

Housing is NOT getting better. Foreclosures are again going through the roof.

Our borders are as porus as a screen door on a submarine.

OWS protestors are demanding MORE money from the government to pay for school fees, housing, more food stamps – more STUFF.

Rachael Maddow has an ad where she is sitting in front of a huge dam in America, proclaiming that, “the GOVERNMENT built this dam.”

Sorry, but a private firm named Bectel built the damn dam. Bechtel participated in the building of Hoover Dam in the 1930s, along with many other projects.

The Government DID NOT build the Dam. Private industry built the dam – with WE THE PEOPLE’S tax money.

She then goes on to proclaim that the Congressmen who rile against government actually have their jobs because the government “GAVE them their jobs.”

She completely forgets that the representatives were ELECTED by WE THE PEOPLE. The government did not give one single representative his job.

But she, “Just knows” so nobody even questions her.

The pigs are now lining up at the trough. And every person that pays taxes had better get ready for a real shocker – TAXES ARE GOING SKY HIGH – before this is all over.

Yet, the American people still follow the dictates of Political Correctness – without question.

A few years back it was politically correct to make a statement by getting body piercing pins and needles to all parts of the human anatomy.

These people we making a statement because they, “Just knew.”

Then it degenerated into everybody getting tats (tattoos) to make another statement. They, “Just knew.”

How many tramp stamps have you seen recently? If you don’t know what that is, ask somebody who, “Just knows.”

Only one problem. When everybody is doing the same thing to make a statement – then nobody is thinking at all.

And THAT is my point.

People in America nowadays do not THINK for THEMSELVES.

They have been brainwashed out of the concept of INDIVIDUALITY – and into the concept of TEAMWORK.

Little kids sings songs about “Teamwork, Teamwork.”

“We can do it if we work as a Team.”

I know – it is meant to instill friendship, and working together – to get along. But in so doing, our so-called public education system has completely destroyed the idea of the SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL.

And THAT is the goal of this current administration.

Once the SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL is destroyed – then the American Dream will be permanently extinguished.

Are we to then rely on the CHINESE DREAM? I submit that if you think Communist China is the future of the world – then you might want to consult the 26,000,000 people that Mao had starved to death during his Cultural Revolution.

WE THE PEOPLE had better wake up – and do it fast.

START AS MANY FIRES AS POSSIBLE

Many people do not realize it but one of the main sources of military battlefield strategy in “ancient times” was the use of FIRE.

SunTsu has a whole section on how to use fire, with relation to the morning winds, where to position troops so as to kill the retreating soldiers as they run away from the flames – and right into the swords of his waiting soldiers.

The more fires set – the more confusion ensued.

We have the border problem. We have the European crisis. We have Solendra. We have Eric Holder and the gun/drug running into Mexico.

We have the illegal alien problem.

We have money disappearing at all levels of government.

We have more graft and corruption than we ever had in the Bush Administration.

But that seems to be OK because the Liberals, “Just know.”

There is mounting evidence that not only were names forged during the 2008 election for Obama, but now there is a renowned law professor who lays out the concept of President Obama being in office under a false premise.

If you care to see the site for yourself, I think you will be astounded at the simplicity in which he presents his case.

This guy is not some nut job. He knows what he is talking about – and points out the situation in easy to understand terms.

I invite all readers to take five minutes and see what we are REALLY up against.

I have to admit, I am not feeling very good about the way things have been going as of late.

As you may remember, I had an open bet with any readers that were just CERTAIN Obama was going to be defeated in 2012. Now, those who made bets with me are not so sure.

I think I can now GUARANTEE that Obama will win a second term. And this is not defeatism – it is simply realistic.

Obama has union support across the whole country.

The President has ONE BILLION DOLLARS in campaign funds at his disposal.

He is the incumbent.

He has the Media firmly in his hip pocket.

He does not have to “officially” campaign – although he is doing plenty of that already.

And all he has to do is play the “race card” or the “class warfare card” and the ignorant populace that put him into office in the first place – will do it again.

If you recall, I predicted in a previous newsletter that if the economy starts to turn around – and gas hits $3.00 a gallon by next November – Obama will be a shoo-in. It is happening right before our very eyes.

But the thing that irks me the most is that the GOP doesn’t really seem to care.

Perry has stepped into the bucket. He is done.

“Newt” has just stepped into the same bucket with his idiotic statement about Palestine. He is done.

That leaves us with the illustrious – Romney? What the hell is going on with the asinine GOP?

But wait. We had Herman Cain – and he was heading up in the polls – and then he was sniped by the Media.

Yet, the GOP did nothing to really help him in his time of need.

So where are the women now who accused him of sexual molestation? They are no where to be found.

And why did not the GOP ask the REAL questions that would have put it “out front” for all of us to see?

Why were the REAL questions never put forward?

What kind of questions, you ask?

How about a few of the following – that would have proven – one way or another – who was really telling the truth. Why was the woman who alleged to have had a 13 year “relationship” with Mr. Cain not questioned in the following manner:

Ma’am, since you were his secret lover – for 13 years – maybe you could answer a few questions for us.

1. When is his birthday?

2. What size shirt did Mr. Cain wear?

3. What was his waist size?

4. What size shoes did he wear?

5. How about his hat size?

Don’t know the answers to these questions? You say that those questions are irrelevant to the conversation? Then let’s try something a little more “revealing.”

1. Did Mr. Cain have any distinguishing body marks, such as scars, a birthmark or a tattoo?

2. Was Mr. Cain circumcised or not?

Uh, oh? That last one would have been the clincher, if there ever was one.

But nobody had the courage to ask these types of questions.

And I ask, why not?

Because, in my estimation, Herman Cain was NOT the one that the GOP “elite” had in mind.

Not because of his race – but because he was on the outside of the “inner-circle” of the GOP.

And Newt will go down, too. He is simply too dangerous to have as the GOP “point man.”

And that leaves the man I wrote about months ago – before most people even knew who he was – Jon Huntsman.

I STILL feel that he will make his move – once the clutter of Newt and Romney are finally done away with.

However, in my GUT I still feel that Romney will be the GOP nominee, no matter what – and Obama will then have his second term tied up in a neat package and literally handed to him.

And America will suffer even more in the years to come.

BUT YOU ARE WRONG – NEWT WILL WIN!

Sorry folks, but that is simply not going to happen.

I was having a few beers last night when this subject came up. One of my friends said, with deep conviction, that once Gingrich gets the nomination, “He will tear Obama apart in the debates.”

What debates, I asked.

“The Presidential debates,” came the convinced reply.

What happens if Obama decides that there will be no debates, I asked.

My friend looked at me dumbfounded but said nothing.

Ladies and gentlemen – Obama will simply state that he is too busy helping the economy on its recovery.

Remember, I said that if gas prices go down and the economy is on the mend – then Obama will get reelected.

It WILL happen – even if the economy is NOT on the mend, he will convince naive voters otherwise. He is a con man of the first order.

Obama will continue to make speeches – but he will avoid ALL debates – especially with Gingrich, if Newt actually does get the nomination. But he won’t.

There are no laws that say a President has to have debates.

Obama has never released his school records – not to mention his “birth certificate.”

What makes anybody think they can make him debate Gingrich?

It ain’t gonna happen.

A GOOD GENERAL WILL SECURE HIS RETREAT

Sun Tsu once said, “A good general will secure his retreat – before he goes into battle.”

Sun Tsu also said, “When all the battle plans have been made, once you enter the battlefield, everything will change – and if you do not change – improvise – then you will lose.”

The GOP – and most Republicans – are pretty much idiots – when it comes to battle tactics – especially POLITICAL battle tactics.

How many readers actually watch MSNBC? Rachael, Chris, The ED Show and Lawrence?

I will venture a guess that very few indeed take the time to get to know “their enemy.”

And THAT is a fatal mistake – not only for individuals – but the GOP as well.

Nobody seems to understand that what we have in the White House is the Chicago Mafia of Politics.

I have never, in my life, seen such corruption – and see it go on, and on, and on.

I never thought that Watergate could be surpassed. My mistake, big time.

These political runarounds are exactly what Obama promised to fix if he got elected. He got elected – and everything just got worse.

We the People seem to have forgotten what has transpired since this group of miscreants took over the Presidency.

Fannie and Freddie have been totally bankrupted.

It was not Barney Frank’s fault. But BILLIONS went somewhere. The money just disappeared.

A housing debacle ensued – from which we STILL have not hit bottom.

Solyndra. Where the hell is that money? Over $500 MILLION just disappeared.

Guns running into Mexico.

It is not Eric Holder’s fault. The guns just disappeared.

Jon Corzine simply “does not know” where the money went from his “MF” Investment “Trust.”

Some accounts put the amount that close to a BILLION dollars.

It is not Mr. Corzine’s fault. It just disappeared.

It is not President Obama’s fault. He doesn’t know anything about it.

Then – it must be Bush’s fault!

Is anybody starting to see a pattern here?

And this pattern will continue until Obama – and all of his ilk – are thrown out of office.

But the GOP is doing its damnedest to see that this is not going to happen.

And that is what has me completely stumped.

Out of all the good men and women in the GOP – we come up with Newt and Romney?

Is this really the sorry shape that the Republicans have allowed themselves to sink into?

Do we not, in this entire country, have an Eisenhower, a Goldwater or a Reagan? In the entire United States of America – is Rick Santorum and Rick Perry the best the GOP can do?

If so, then we are completely sunk.

IMPROVISE

I have been called a defeatist by some of my friends of late. But that is not the case.

I am simply being a realist – and facing facts.

President Obama WILL win the White House in 2012.

So, instead of playing STUPID, the GOP should be spending its millions on supporting EVERY Senate candidate and House candidate that is running as a Republican – and stop Obama from completely bankrupting America for good.

Our Founding Fathers set up a Constitution – with THREE distinct areas of power:

1. The Executive

2. The Legislative

3. The Judicial

It was designed this way for the exact reason that we face today. A corrupt, out of control Executive Branch, with potential criminals infesting all levels of government.

They need to be voted out – every Democrat in the House and the Senate. In doing so, a REAL stop will be inflicted on President Obama from permanently ruining the United States of America.

Am I saying that all Democrats are bad and all Republicans are good? If you even began to think that, then you don’t know me – or what I stand for.

We are going to be at a crossroads in 2012. We can go the way of Europe – and ALL sink into collective poverty – or we can put a stop to it before we are all screwed.

But WE THE PEOPLE have to start thinking DEFENSE.

And working on our local House and Senate campaigns is the best way to do it.

Right now Scott Brown, in Massachusetts, is on the political ropes. And apparently the GOP is not going all out to help him get re-elected.

Why not? Because he is not “Conservative enough.”

What this hell kind of thinking is that?

And this kind of demented, politically suicidal thinking is rampant in the Republican Party.

Kevin McCarthy, a powerful California Republican, did not “like” Meg Whitman, and refused to give her his undying support when she ran for governor. So in his stupidity, we got saddled with Jerry Brown.

This, my friends, is the classical definition of political suicide.

I have heard many other Republicans say that if Romney is actually nominated, they would “stay home” and teach the GOP a lesson.

Others, mainly Evangelicals, simply will NOT vote for Romney.

Then, there are those morons who say that since Jon Hunstman “worked for Obama” they would “never vote for him.”

WE THE PEOPLE need a lesson in political survival. If the GOP does not wake up – and wake up fast – then we are ALL going to be up the proverbial creek.

I speak from personal experience. I am not just blowing off steam here.

When I ran for Congress, there were a lot of Republicans who did not “like me” because I was not “from Washington state.” I was “an outsider.” The Evangelicals actively worked against my campaign because they did not like my stand on abortion – so they allowed the GOP to insert their own person – who lost in a landslide to Congressman Rick Larsen.

Mr. Larsen is STILL in Congress, voting with Obama on almost every bill. Mr. Larsen is a political hack of the first order – but the GOP is so riddled with narrow-minded, “litmus test” bigots, that they would rather ruin their State – and the United States – rather than banding together to work for the good of America.

I submit to you that the GOP will be fully to blame if President Barack Obama is re-elected in 2012, and must be held accountable if that is the case.

LAST SECTION OF ARTICLE I OF THE CONSTITUTION

Section. 10.No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

I will continue with the beginning of Article II in my next edition of the American Telegraph.

BELATED SALUTE

In a belated THANK YOU to the survivors of Pearl Harbor, I wish to extend my personal thanks for being the greatest generation that this Nation has ever produced.

Not only did the Veterans of World War II defeat Nazi German, and Adolph Hitler, but also Benito Mussolini and the Empire of Japan – all in less than FIVE YEARS.

When you put that into perspective it is almost too much to comprehend.

Definition: Money which has no intrinsic value and cannot be redeemed for specie or any commodity, but is made legal tender through government decree. All modern paper currencies are fiat money, as are most modern coins. The value of fiat money depends on the strength of the issuing country’s economy. Inflation results when a government issues too much fiat money.

Why the hell am I talking about this confusing and complicated formula? And what the hell is a hypotenuse anyway?

SIMPLY put, you can determine the length of the hypotenuse (the DIAGONAL LINE) of a right triangle (90 degree triangle) by squaring the base and “back” line of the right triangle and adding them together and they will equal the diagonal length squared.

In other words A² + B² = C² or the Three, Four Five Triangle (3 4 5 Triangle). So 3×3 = 9; 4×4 = 16. Therefore, 9 + 16 = 25 (the two sides). And 5×5 = 25 (the diagonal/hypotenuse) thus proving the theory. A very simple formula – if it is explained in simple terms.

It is attributed to Pythagoras that he once said, “There is no more beautiful form than that of a right triangle.” He loved the simplicity – and in that simplicity lay his genius. There was another guy that, at a very early age, came up with one of the most simple formulas in the history of science – and changed the world forever: E= mc2 But that discussion is for another time. Back to the subject at hand.

So, I got to thinking the other day about fiat money – paper money that has no real intrinsic value – but is still used as “currency” or “legal tender.” Then it hit me right between the eyes. What are so many people doing right now – with paper money – that has no intrinsic value?

They are buying gold that HAS intrinsic value. What I don’t understand is, how can you buy something with intrinsic value, with simple paper? I realize the paper is “backed” by a government’s promise to pay, but doesn’t it seem awfully comical that an institution, such as the FED, can print fake money, CHARGE AN INTEREST RATE OF 4% when selling this FAKE MONEY to the United States Government, take the profits that are staggering (and NO ONE is talking about this), and then investing those profits in gold?

How is this even legally possible? The FED charges for “making” this money – but where does the 4% interest rate go? And who gets to keep it? Are these not very SIMPLE QUESTIONS? So I ask, is there any reader out there who can answer this question? I would be happy if I could get a definitive answer to this mental dilemma. And, as a side note, I would venture that EVERY FED MEMBER has substantial amounts of gold in their personal holdings – and that these holdings are somewhere offshore.

Another thing that puzzles me is the NAMES of ALL the FED Members. I mean, who are all the members of these boards? Where do they live? What do they do? How much are their personal holdings worth? Here is what I have:

The seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. A full term is fourteen years. One term begins every two years, on February 1 of even-numbered years. A member who serves a full term may not be reappointed. A member who completes an unexpired portion of a term may be reappointed. All terms end on their statutory date regardless of the date on which the member is sworn into office.

The Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the Board are named by the President from among the members and are confirmed by the Senate. They serve a term of four years. A member’s term on the Board is not affected by his or her status as Chairman or Vice Chairman. SOURCE:http://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/bios/board/default.htm

But for some reason, all other information is somewhat murky.

Also, there are FED Board Regional Offices throughout the United States – with more members in attendance. And that information is even more difficult to come up with.

Why is this information so difficult to decipher – when these people are actually printing the fiat money that the whole country – and I would argue – the whole world – depends upon?

During my campaign in 2004, a lot of people got VERY angry when I asked questions such as these.

But I am still asking – and still nobody can give me a definitive answer as to who, what, where, when, how and why these people exist – and by what authority do they continue to control our everyday lives – and are STILL UNREGULATED – AND NOT AUDITED BY ANYONE?

These are simple questions – that WE THE PEOPLE deserve simple answers to.

And why is this so important?

Because, I predict, that the USA will – ultimately – have to bail out EUROPE with even more of our hard earned Tax Money.

It is these kind of shenanigans that galls the common man in the streets – and I am afraid that if this type of action persists – then there will be hell to pay – both at the ballot box – and perhaps in the streets of America itself.

It may already be too late. I sincerely hope I am wrong.

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

I also had another thought recently when considering other aspects of the United States Constitution and it, again, revolved around a very SIMPLE notion – that being the separation of Church and State.

I am sure, that most would gasp in horror in even assuming that I consider this concept in such a simple manner. But it IS actually very simple to interpret – if you can think in clear and concise terms.

As I read it, the Constitution upholds the idea of separation of CHURCH and State.

It does NOT say the separation of GOD and State.

It specifically relates to CHURCH and State. CHURCH signifying a stated, or understood RELIGION.

But I can find nowhere in the Constitution that says God is the same as Religion.

Let’s be honest here. All ORGANIZED RELIGIONS are nothing more than another form of business. Yet all ORGANIZED RELIGIONS are tax exempt due to their “non-profit religious nature.”

Let’s not even broach the topic of how rich the Catholic Church – or other RELIGIOUS institutions are. The money they take in – TAX FREE – would make your head spin.

My point here is that our Founding Fathers NEVER meant to confuse God – with ORGANIZED RELIGION.

There was never any attempt by them to exclude Him from the public square – as we have been led to believe by our misinformed, Liberal brethren associated with Political Correctness.

And if I am wrong – please show me SPECIFICALLY where it says GOD should not be included in the mix with the State.

Separation of Church and State meant ALL RELIGIONS must not be mixed with politics.

And with that notion, I wholeheartedly agree.

I shudder to think what our country would be like if WE THE PEOPLE had no belief whatsoever in ANY God.

Another simple maxim to remember is:

“God before Church.”

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

Which brings me to my final point today.

I would venture a guess that kids under the age of 18 cannot recite the Pledge of Allegiance ON DEMAND.

HERE IT IS:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.

Let’s take just two points and see if I can make some simple, common sense observation out of what is going on here.

Please notice, the third line:

“and to the Republic for which it stands”

It does not say, “and to the Democracy for which it stands”

Herewith is one of the oldest contentions between the Republicans (the Party of Lincoln – which the freed African slaves first belonged to) and the perpetual lie of the Democrats pretending to be Democratic because of the nature of their party name.

We are NOT a Democracy – we are a Republic.

A Democracy is legalized mob rule. A Republic is, by design, conducted by the rule of Law.

And now look at the fourth line:

“one Nation under God, indivisible”

Notice that it states one Nation (Nation is capitalized on purpose – read the Declaration of Independence for further proof of “old grammar” rules).

One Nation under God – but which God?

THAT is what the Founding Fathers DID NOT want to fight over – thus the Separation of CHURCH and State – not GOD and State.

ALL RELIGIONS – believe in some sort of God. And in doing so, and thinking along these lines, the Founding Fathers were ALL INCLUSIVE when it comes to God – but EXCLUSIVE with regard to ONE ORGANIZED STATE RELIGION.

The fourth line DOES NOT say one Nation under Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Buddha, or any other religious personage – but ONE GOD – INDIVISIBLE – with Liberty and Justice for all.

To me, that rendering of the separation of Church and State is very simply.

Probably too simple for most people to even fathom.

“The Cosmos is the purest form of complex simplicity.”

It is pretty simple. All you have to do is look – and you will see.

And, yes, I realize that the Pledge was NOT mandated by the Constitution, nor the Founding Fathers. It was first devised in 1892, took on many revisions and finally ended up with the one we have today.

THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION

Today, I would like to continue with the the United States Constitution, picking up from Section 7. My apologies for not doing this earlier, but I had some Special Edition American Telegraphs that were time related and could not wait.

I hope you will continue to enjoy one of the greatest documents ever conceived by man – for the freedom of WE THE PEOPLE.

Section. 7. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States;[2] If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARK TWAIN

Mark Twain is 176 years old today. I gathered these 10 Maxims from an Internet article – but misplaced (lost) the source, so my apologies for that.

However, I still wanted to show you 10 of his most treasured Maxims according to that Internet article.

I hope you enjoy them.

1. A recipe for contentment

“Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”

2. True wisdom

“It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.”

3. Reading habits

“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.”

4. Success

“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.”

5. Bravery

“It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.”

6. Procrastination

“Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.”

7. Progress

“Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.”

8. Risk-taking

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

9. Good editing

“A successful book is not made of what is in it, but what is left out of it.”

10. Life

“Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.”

A MARINE’S “REQUEST” – THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

As is the case with so many of my great readers, this little clip was sent to me by an American Telegraph subscriber. I can’t thank you all enough for your help and generous submissions. Without your help, I simply could not keep going.

Click on the link below to see how a Marine reacts and his “Request.” I have not checked the authenticity – but whatever the case is – the point is well taken.

As he was on his way home, my lifetime mentor stopped by my house in his rental car, picked me up for a “quick dinner and drink” before driving himself to Sacramento International Airport to catch the last plane headed east.

No sooner did I slip into the passenger seat and he was off to the races. He was beside himself. I just listened and let him get it out of his system.

For me to try to repeat everything he said would be impossible. The guy is eons ahead of me with relation to what is going on in the international scene. Plus, a verbatim account would singe the ears off of the most crusty of Marines. He was livid – and driving like there was nobody else on the road.

What he said prompted me to write, yet another Special Edition of The American Telegraph.

Here is what I was able to decipher from his diatribe:

Apparently, Russia has been “quietly” buying new arms and ammunition – and further developing new weapons systems of their own – to the tune of almost $800 BILLION.

Obama is perceived as such a “total loser” that not only the Russians are dancing with glee at his prospects of being re-elected – but so are the Chinese.

He further stated that China now has “aircraft and destroyer busters” that can take out a total American battleship while it is in INTERNATIONAL WATERS.

He did not go into detail, but he said the Chinese have a launching system that has already been tested – and it works with “total precision.”

“Where the fuck is Obama on all this shit,” he screamed, slamming the steering wheel.

At this point I actually did something that I have never done before. And never will again.

“Slow down and relax,” is all I said.

He immediately pulled over to the side of the road and said, “You want to slow down? Get the fuck out and walk.”

After I assured him I was “on his side” he began driving again – with a little more care I might add.

But that did not stop his wrath, nor his spewing of things going on “right in front of our fucking faces.”

Egypt, according to him, is ready for an Islamic takeover.

Syria is going in the same direction.

North Korea and China are secretly helping Iran with TOTAL nuclear capability. The reason, according to him, that we don’t know anything about what is really going on is because the Media is afraid it might cause mass hysteria. “Iran ALREADY HAS the fucking bomb.”

I was still uncomfortable with his driving but I didn’t say anything.

Then he hit me with a real zinger.

“I read your asshole prediction on that Super Committee garbage. How could you be so blind?” It was set up to fail. I thought you were smarter than that.”

I told him I was hoping against hope that maybe they would pull something together – but, yes, I blew that one.

“Blowing a prediction is not what I am talking about. Don’t you see what is coming down here? It was designed to fail. Now we have Russia – and China – building up with HUGE military ordinance capabilities – and AMERICA is now set to cut defense spending in HALF!”

As usual, he was drawing a total picture that only this man is capable of doing.

The United States is in economic decline.

Occupy Wall Street – all across the nation.

A DOUBLE-DIP recession that WILL happen. (This was predicted LONG AGO in a previous American Telegraph).

Pakistan and Afghanistan are still our “war targets” with India getting very edgy at the TOTAL INACTION of Obama on what is really going on.

“And nobody can even put together why Obama went to South Korea and Japan to “reassure” Asia that they can still count on us. Who the fuck is this imbecile kidding?

“And the Media is not even talking about Indonesia. You want to know why? Because it is the BIGGEST Islamic nation on earth – and the rest of Asia is scared shitless.”

NOW he had my attention. His total concept of world affairs has rarely been wrong. He sounded even more plausible as he went on.

Then he hit a grand slam with his next, somewhat off-the-cuff, comment.

“We have lost almost all of our HEAVY INDUSTRY manufacturing. Right in front of the whole world we have almost NO method of making war machines like we did during World War Two.

Boeing, maybe. But Ford and GM? They can’t even make a car worth a shit anymore.

Caterpillar can make tractors – but how long would it take for them to re-tool up to make tanks and heavy guns?” He looked at me with a wry, sardonic smile, then said, “So what are we going to do, ask the Chinese to make our tanks and battleships for us?”

He had a very good point. Then he continued, this time more composed as we entered the restaurant parking lot.

“Russia has manufacturing plants that are making tanks, jet aircraft and warships this very minute. And China has facilities like that too, spread all over China.

America has them in a few certain sites – and Russia and China know exactly where they are.

But we don’t know where they have of all their manufacturing and munition emplacements are. Want to know why?”

Without giving me a chance to answer, he kept on.

“Because so much of their total MILITARY STRUCTURE for manufacturing is UNDER GROUND.”

That one hit me like a sledgehammer. I knew of China’s underground system of subways and tunnels – in case of possible nuclear attack – but whole manufacturing plants, the size of Seattle’s Boing facility UNDERGROUND.

Our dinner and drinks were more subdued but what he had said seemed to make sense – in almost a Kafkaesque sense of reality. No wonder the Media refused to say anything.

When he drove me home he was somewhat depressed, almost sullen.

He dropped me off, apologized for being so “overboard” and then paid me a compliment that I will never forget.

“You are one of the few people who actually knows what is going on. That is why I had to “blow off steam. Sorry, pal.”

As I waved goodbye, I knew that I had just seen a total picture laid out for me. He has, and will always be, my mentor supreme.

I decided to take a little walk, to lose a pound or two – and to sober up.

It finally dawned on me why the Media was not spelling all this out for WE THE PEOPLE to see.

President Obama was THEIR choice as our “National Leader” – and he has led us down one of the most harrowing, idiotic paths this Country has ever seen.

We are stretched to our MILITARY LIMIT. Now is a perfect time for Russia and China to make a move – to put forth a whole litany of DEMANDS – on their terms.

And then we STILL have Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, North Korea – and Venezuela – all itching to get a piece of America.

And then, in the final analysis, there is Israel.

It was my intention to send a Thanksgiving Edition tomorrow, but I have made an exception on behalf of my friend to publish this instead.

I leave every reader with this one thought:

During the rise of Fascism in Germany – one of the most enlightened and DEMOCRATIC nations in Europe – most people simply thought what others were saying about Germany, and her designs on the world, were mere fabrication. “It could never happen here. Not again. Not after World War I – the “war to end all wars.”

Even most of the Jews in Germany felt they were safe. They were the “chosen people” and God would take care of them.

One prominent Jewish man knew better – and came to America – before the Jewish roundup began in earnest.

His name? Albert Einstein. And Germany never forgave herself for letting this nuclear genius escape their grasp.

It CAN happen here, too.

However, even with all this negative flow of information, I still want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

Take care, keep your eyes on the International Scene and don’t be distracted – like I was on the “Stupid Committee.”

As an afterthought, has anyone even wondered why – all of the sudden – the Republicans have had TWO debates on foreign policy?

We are at a precipice. Do not waver. Don’t give up. Stay vigilant and keep THINKING POSITIVE.

There still is time.

The election in 2012 is, in all probability, the most important in our lifetime.

“The money power preys upon the nation in time of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent that autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of our country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the republic is destroyed.”

Abraham Lincoln

How prescient, the 16th President of the United States, so as to see this coming – over 100 years ago!

Not only is this “Super Committee” an illegal group of hand-picked members from both parties, it is also a very dangerous precedent to establish – for in setting up such a “group” it circumvents the rest of the members of Congress (The House of Representatives and the Senate) – and in doing so the will of, WE THE PEOPLE.

So why is no one even raising this question?

Simply because we, as a Nation of free-loving individuals, are now willing to delegate our Constitutional Rights to a “chosen few” as Lincoln predicted would happen.

As to my understanding of the Constitution – ALL members of Congress are to make financial decisions regarding the allocation of taxes that are derived from the citizenry – not just a small, elite group of individuals.

If I am right in my interpretation of the Law of the Land – then this group, dubbed the “Super Committee,” is the first step in the usurpation of the entire American Constitution.

So what the hell is going on – right under our noses?

To be honest, we are headed toward an oligarchy – if we are not there already.

I am appalled at the fact that NOT ONE NEWS MEDIA outlet has even broached this encroachment on our civil liberties.

This is NOT a question of Republican or Democratic ideology. This is a statement of fact.

What is even more alarming is that if this “group” does not come up with a solution to our financial dilemma, in just a few short days, then draconian cuts will automatically start to take place.

SO WHAT DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN?

It means that NO ONE will be held responsible for the “group” if it fails to come up with a financial solution.

The Republicans will blame the Democrats and the Democrats will blame the Republicans.

But in reality, they are ALL to blame for willingly relinquishing their solemn duty to serve in the capacity to which they were elected.

Yet, NOT ONE Senator or Congressman has even mentioned this fact.

Once this type of “Super Committee” can be set up for the budget making policies of our Country – then other “Super Committees” can be set up for more nefarious political objectives.

Please bear in mind that we are not only in a political crisis, but also a Constitutional crisis as well.

We have one last HOPE left to us – with regard to the United States Constitution.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

The “Super Committee” that is now deciding how our tax money will be spent, is simply a “test case.” And so far, the Oligarchy Government of America is very satisfied with the results.

As the “Wall Street Protestors” are running rampant in the streets – our elected “representatives” have completely wilted in the face of this TOTALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL establishment (precedent setting) of a small group of people making the rules as to how, and where, the taxpayers’ money is to be allocated.

Folks – this is AGAINST THE LAW. ALL of Congress – both Houses – have reneged on their elected responsibility.

Our last HOPE is, none other, than the United States Supreme Court.

That statement may surprise you – until you consider what they are about to do.

In a few months, the Court will decide whether “Obamacare” is legal or illegal. In other words, Constitutional or Unconstitutional.

This case is of “Supreme” importance – not just for the continued existence of “Obamacare” – but in reality, our Rights as Sovereign Individuals.

If the Supreme Court AGREES with the Oligarchy Government that is now in power – then all HOPE is lost.

And if that is the case – then there is little HOPE left – other than armed Revolution.

IS IT REALLY THAT IMPORTANT?

If you consider that the Constitution is an important document – then YES, it is that important.

However, if you think the Constitution is just a piece of paper, then it is not important at all.

Consider what has taken place:

Obama has designated a “Super Committee” to determine how our taxes are to be spent.

The Supreme Court is now to decide where WE THE PEOPLE are to spend our money.

Is this making sense to any readers? Can you see what is going on here?

If the “Super Committee” is allowed to DICTATE where our taxes go and if the Supreme Court actually says that Americans MUST buy a certain product – then we are, to put it simply, living under a DICTATORSHIP directed by a Government Oligarchy.

BUT THE COURT IS NOT OUR LAST RESORT!

You read that right. The Supreme Court is NOT our last resort.

Our LAST RESORT is the SECOND AMENDMENT to that most Sacred Document – the Constitution of the United States of America.

And it is for THIS reason that our Founding Fathers made the RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS – so as to be able to ENFORCE the proper implementation of the Constitution – if the need ever arose.

And this is precisely why the Oligarchy Government of the United States is trying to take away the right to keep and bear arms.

Please remember, our Founding Fathers were more concerned with tyranny from WITHIN – not from the outside.

And the constant assault on WE THE PEOPLES’ right to own private firearms will, once again, come to the forefront – IF the Supreme Court rules in favor of forcing Americans to buy something that they do not want or need.

For if the Oligarchy Government of the United States can force you to purchase Obamacare, then that opens the floodgates – a precedent will be set – so that the Oligarchy Government can make WE THE PEOPLE INVOLUNTARILY RELINQUISH OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this definition speaks volumes as to exactly what our Founding Fathers were talking about.

It is direct, simple – and to the point.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT

As passed by the Congress:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.[8]

This leaves no doubt that WE THE PEOPLE are the “WELL REGULATED MILITIA” – being necessary to the security of a free State – the United States of America.

This, my friends, is truly our LAST GREAT HOPE.

We can only wait and see what will happen. Let’s hope the Supreme Court will rule AGAINST Obamacare.

YOUR PREDICTIONS ARE NOT ALL CORRECT!

I have heard this complaint from time to time – and it is true. The person who made this accusation was very angry at me for a few of my predictions that went awry.

So I challenged her to go back through all of my previous AMERICAN TELEGRAPH EDITIONS and actually count the ones I got right – and the ones that I completely blew.

She never got back in touch with me.

So, I invite any reader, who has the time and patience, to go back and actually tally up the ones I got correct and the ones in which I was wrong. I think you will find out that I am batting around 75%. That is just a guess – so anyone who wants to check it out is more than welcome to do so.

A FEW MORE PREDICTIONS

I will make these short and sweet – without any substantiation whatsoever.

1. The “Super Committee” will come up with a “last minute” compromise – that no one will be happy with – and which will only be temporary in nature.

2. The Supreme Court will rule against the mandatory dictation that forces everybody to buy “Obamacare” BUT will uphold other parts of the “Obamacare” package as “Constitutional” thus keeping everybody “happy.”

3. Obama will be reelected in 2012 if either Romney or “Newt” is put forth as the GOP standard bearer.

4. Obama will buttress his case for reelection by saying the following: “I told you it would take a long time to get out of this INHERITED situation that BUSH left us in; unemployment IS going down, although slower than we had anticipated; businesses are again showing signs of strength – and in FOUR MORE YEARS we will be well on our way to TOTAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY.

5. If Newt Gingrich is the GOP nomination, a lot of people think he will tear Obama apart in any debate format. But, I feel that Obama will simply say, “I am too busy running the country to bother with any debates.” In other words, Obama will simply not agree to any debates with Gingrich. After all, Obama IS the president – and there is no law that says he must debate anybody.

It is not President Obama that I fear.

It is the stupid, gullible people who voted for him the first time around that scare me. They have become so self-centered, so demanding of their ENTITLEMENTS, and so unwilling to take care of themselves and DEPENDENT on the Oligarchy Government to FEED, HOUSE AND CLOTHE them, that they will vote for Obama AGAIN – as a matter of basic survival.

JAPAN – THEN AND NOW

As most of you know, I spent over 25 years living and working in Japan.

During that time I grew to not only love Japan – but I learned to trust and admire the Japanese people as well.

When the horrific earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown happened it literally made my wife and me sick. But I knew that, through it all, the Japanese people would survive, pull themselves together, as they have always done in the past, and emerge from this catastrophe stronger than ever before.

I made a prediction that Japan would recover and, once again, remake itself.

I even went so far as to state that Japan would recover quicker than the survivors of Katrina.

This statement drew “outrage” from some readers – and subscription cancellations to boot.

So, instead of me telling you how strong and resilient – and SELF-SUSTAINING – the Japanese people are, I have decided to include the two sites below – and let you judge for yourselves as to the stamina, faith and WORK ETHIC of the Japanese people themselves.

We in America – and Katrina – should take note and learn from our Japanese cousins.

I will continue with my series presentation of the United States Constitution with the next edition of THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH. Some have written that they were worried that I was not going to keep it going. To the contrary, it will be finished, I promise.

I will not delve on the fact that I told you so. I will just report the news and let it go at that.

The following is an article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal two days ago:

Abortion Resurfaces for GOP Field

By Elisabeth Williamson

Moves in several states to restrict or criminalize abortion are pushing one of the most divisive issues in politics up the Republican presidential-campaign agenda, complicating life for candidates who have been focused almost entirely on the economy.

The result has been the emergence of some fissures within the GOP field, as well as some stumbles by candidates as their anti-abortion credentials are challenged. Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry have staked out staunch anti-abortion positions and have assailed front-runners Mitt Romney and Herman Cain for offering conflicting statements on the issue.

SOURCE: The Wall Street Journal, 7 November 2011, page 2

If the GOP continues to press this Abortion Issue, via the Evangelical Element – then President Obama is going to see a Second Term.

Apparently, the GOP is led by the most incompetent people in the world. Even Pat Robertson has advised the GOP to put its “Social Issues” on hold – or risk losing in 2012.

Is anybody listening?

This second article is directed at China – in which past articles -I have spelled out how we, as American citizens, are being constantly lied to by our Mass Media Monopoly Conglomerate. Not even FOX NEWS is reporting this.

America is rapidly losing the International Moral Compass that it once held.

CHINA:

Again, an article from the Internet:

Days ago, Palden Choetso walked out of her nunnery, covered herself in petrol and set herself on fire while pleading for a ‘free Tibet’. Minutes later she died. In the past month, nine monks and nuns have self-immolated to protest a growing Chinese crackdown on the peaceful Tibetan people.

These tragic acts are a desperate cry for help. Machine gun-toting Chinese security forces are beating and disappearing monks, laying siege to monasteries, and even killing elderly people defending them — all in an effort to suppress Tibetan rights. China severely restricts access to the region. But if we can get key governments to send diplomats in and expose this growing brutality, we could save lives.

We have to act fast — this horrific situation is spiraling out of control behind a censorship curtain. Over and over we have seen that when diplomats themselves bear witness to atrocities, they are motivated to act, and increase political pressure. Let’s answer Palden’s tragic cry and build a massive petition to the six world leaders with the most influence in Beijing to send a mission to Tibet and speak out against the repression. Sign the urgent petition:

Tibetans are suffocating under China’s stranglehold. They are unable to practice their religion freely — just downloading a photograph of the Dalai Lama can land a Tibetan in prison. And it is getting worse as columns of Chinese troops have blockaded the largest monasteries and are abducting monks into “patriotic re-education” programmes. This horrific situation is spiraling out of control.

SOURCE: Internet Article

Anybody who buys shares of stock in China, who still harbors the thought that Chinese Communists are “changing,” or believe ANYTHING that comes out of the Communist Chinese Controlled Media – is not only a complete fool – but also lacks any moral backbone whatsoever. Anyone who still “believes” Chinese Communists should be ashamed of themselves.

Who the hell is guiding this rudderless Ship of State we call America?

Read CHINA HOUSE for the real story.

MY FRIEND’S INFORMATION:

As for the Iranian/Israeli forthcoming conflict, this has not panned out – yet. But what my friend told me about Obama’s hatred of Netanyahu turned out to be prescient to the maximum.

A few readers have written to air their suspicion that I really don’t have a friend such as this in “high places” and that I am “making it all up.”

To which, I can only reply, “Thank you very much.”

If anybody actually believes that I can call these types of happenings in the International Arena, then I am humbled at your confidence in my prediction ability. I only wish I could be that clairvoyant. If that were truly the case, I would be a millionaire.

I would love to take the credit for this one, but I can’t.

“FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE!”

These were the exact words I heard as I got off the airplane at LAX. I actually looked around to see who the “hippie” was yelling at. Then I realized it was me. I started to walk toward him and he turned around and took off.

I have to admit, I was shocked. Writing these words still make me feel flush in the face.

I decided to brush it off as an isolated incident, looked for a phone booth to call my Mom and tell her I was going to grab a cab and would be “home” in about an hour.

Departing the public phone booth, there was another loudmouthed young kid, talking to a few of his cohorts about how he backed down a “Green Beret” and how he was ready to kick his “baby-killing” ass. His back was to me – as his friends caught my eye – bedecked in Special Forces uniform, ribbons and all. They became extremely nervous, backing up a couple of steps. The loudmouth turned and stared at me, his mouth falling agape.

I still remember the look on his ashen, pathetic face.

One of the girls with him said, “Well, there is another one.”

The boy decided to hold his tongue, backed off and they left, mumbling to themselves.

Had the young kid given me even an iota of a look, one word of lip – to this day I believe I would have killed him on the spot. It would not have taken much. A straight kick to his kneecap to hyper-extend his leg, an esophagus stranglehold, squeez until thumb and fingers meet. A simple kill. I would still be in prison today.

That was all within 20 minutes of entering Los Angeles.

It was not an isolated instance. It was extremely widespread – and had not even begun to reach its peak. That was November 1968.

My reason for saying this is not for pity. Vietnam Veterans do not want pity – only respect.

And that is my point. From our single-fingered salutes, insults, taunting and the occasional spitting, I was under the misguided impression that America had finally learned its lesson.

But I think I was wrong in my observation.

Now, the way people avoid treating American Veterans returning from the “Middle East Wars” is taking a much more subtle turn.

Instead of saying “fuck you” in the Veterans faces, they now simply ignore them.

Contrary to all the hoopla that the Media is lavishing on these Courageous Men and Women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, the real story is again not being told.

Instead, the Media – to cleanse its cumulative soul for the sins of past transgression to returning Vietnam Veterans – has made it a field day of showering the returning Veterans with praise and empty platitudes.

But where are the stories of the extremely high rates of suicide among these returning Veterans?

Where are the HEADLINE statistics of unemployment of these returning Veterans?

Where are the stories of spousal abuse that is running rampant – not to mention the rising tide of HOMELESS VETERANS in America?

After the confetti has been thrown, after all the flowery words have been spoken, after the high-fives have been given – the Mass Media Monopoly washes its hands in a pontificating manner and disappear.

Since the Korean War – American Veterans have never come home – they have just come back.

SO, YOU ARE STILL BITTER!

Not at all. I am pissed. Righteously pissed.

I see returning Veterans getting the same runaround as Vietnam Veterans got – only much more subtle in concept.

I have spoken to Veterans who tell me the exact same, well-rehearsed lines that I heard when I went to look for a job.

“What kind of experience do you have?”

“It’s a very tough economy right now.”

“I wish I could help but there is nothing I can do.”

“Do you think the war was worth it?”

“How many people did you kill?”

Yes, folks, those were the exact same questions I was asked when I went on my job interviews. It still fries me up when I talk to real Veterans who are experiencing the exact same thing we, Vietnam Veterans, went through over FORTY YEARS AGO.

All Vietnam Veterans are brothers to the returning Veterans of today. We hold no grudge against them. We LOVE them for what they did – and are now going to go through – trying to reincorporate themselves into American society.

Vietnam Veterans are fully aware of the bullshit runaround that they are going to receive.

We know how they are going to be discriminated against – in the most pious manner.

But ALL veterans are brothers. And for you politically correct imbeciles out there – when I say BROTHERS – it is in the generic form. In other words, both brothers and SISTERS.

ge·ner·ic

of, applicable to, or referring to all the members of a genus, class, group, or kind; general.

The real disaster is that many companies don’t want to hire these returning Veterans.

Why?

Because they are afraid that they will “crack” or “flip out” and then be held legally responsible for hiring “trained killers” in the first place.

Any person who is a non-Veteran will find this hard to believe. Veterans know exactly what I am saying.

SO, QUIT COMPLAINING! WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

I am glad you asked.

The answer is EXTREMELY simple – and a political masterstroke for President Barack Obama if he were to act on this suggestion.

As much as I am against Obama and his lack of respect for our Military Forces, not to mention how he had divided our Country – my love for my brother Veterans is much stronger than scoring political points on this issue.

If President Obama wants to really help returning Veterans – he would immediately make a public policy statement in such a manner:

“Today I am signing a Presidential Order, The Returning Veterans Employment Act, which will become effective immediately. It will encompass the following goals:

1. To put any returning Veteran to work who seeks employment.

2. Private sector industries that hire Veterans will be given total tax exemption on that Veteran’s salary, medical benifits, pension payments and any other costs associated with that Veteran. The Government will reimburse any company for the costs incurred by the hiring of returning Veterans.

3. To make sure that the maximum amount of returning Veterans are put to work, the Government will also put ALL Veteran applications for Federal, State and Local employment at the head of the line in the hiring and interview process.

4. In addition to this Presidential Order, I am asking that we start today, on the rebuilding the total Highway Infrastructure of the United States of America – and ONLY hire returning Veterans to do the job. President Eisenhower instituted the concept of the Interstate Highway Program and it is only fitting that American Military Veterans rebuild it in his honor.

5. In so doing, I want to say – for all of the American People – Thank you – and Welcome Home!”

This would be a magnanimous political gesture on the part of the President of the United States of America.

It would definitely reduce the unemployment numbers.

It would boost the economy.

It would rebuild our Highway Infrastructure that is rapidly descending into Third World Status as I write.

But most of all it would be beneficial to all the men and women who have given their all so that we may live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

NOVEMBER 10, 2011 – HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES

This is a Happy Birthday wish to all United States Marines. The Marines are 236 years old on this date.

Thank you all for your service to the United States of America.

NOVEMBER 11, 2011 – VETERANS’ DAY

This coming Friday is Veterans’ Day.

We can never repay them for what they have done – but we sure as hell can try.

Welcome home the the returning Veterans of today, thank you for all of your support to the Veterans of yesterday, and may tomorrow bring us a World that has finally learned to live together in Peace, Prosperity and Love for All.

What a wonderful country that we live in.

Imagine, lights in almost every house, refrigerators, washers and dryers, a roof over most of our heads, HOT RUNNING WATER in private homes and a country in which you can hear a child say:

I have the great, good fortune to be in touch with a few very knowledgeable men, and last evening’s discussion is no exception.

Both of my friends urged me to “get this out” ASAP – because we are nearer to being drawn into a full-blown Middle East War than “anybody even suspects.”

It seems that President Obama is viewed in the Middle East as such a “weakling” that BOTH Israel and Iran are both heading in the opposite direction – and right into all-out war.

How true this is, remains to be seen. But the scenario goes something like this:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is said to be weighing the distinct possibility of a “first strike” on Iran – with or without help from President Obama.

Mr. Netanyahu simply cannot let Iran continue with its nuclear buildup. Sooner, rather than later, he is going to attempt to take out ALL nuclear facilities in Iran.

Apparenly, he is banking on Obama coming to his aid – albeit leading again from the rear – because Obama does not want Netanyahu to be perceived as strong – and himself as weak.

Obama will be “forced” to take a stand – because of his desire to “garner the Jewish vote” in 2012.

If Obama does not back Netanyahu, then he loses both political standing in America, and international standing in the world at large.

President Obama, and his so-called “apology tour,” is in jeopardy of being a colossal, diplomatic mistake. If this is the case, Obama will be laughed off the international stage – and America along with it.

It is an open secret that the Middle East is rapidly turning radical Islamic, and the forces of moderate Islam are on the losing end of the stick.

Netanyahu is no fool. He knows that Obama doesn’t really “like” Israel, and is only “putting up with it” for the Jewish vote. Obama is now being forced into a corner – one in which the most viable alternative is to either send in combat ground support or lend a hand with military aircraft.

Either way, Obama – a Nobel Peace Prize winner – will be forced to either intervene militarily – or back away completely.

Prime Minister Netanyahu not only dislikes President Obama – he does not TRUST him – and therein lies the real crux of the problem.

America is closer now to armed conflict with Iran than it ever has been before – and “show time” is rapidly approaching.

It is no longer a question of “if” – but “when.”

BP – A TERRORIST ATTACK?

It seems that there are rumors that the BP “oil spill” was actually a terrorist attack – and was concealed to keep the public from outright panic.

It is now coming to the surface that these weapons are in the hands of terrorist and that they have actually used them already – thus the BP “oil spill.”

This, in itself, has forced the hand of American politicians – in consorted secrecy – to establish a system of obtaining oil from our own resources – thus, the sudden big push for “energy independence.”

If the Obama Administration can quietly restart the more than 2000 capped, and stagnant oil derricks around the country – then the crisis of offshore oil rig attacks can be somewhat muted.

What is not known is how the Middle East will respond to this impending confrontation.

If Israel does decide on a first-strike against the nuclear power plants in Iran, WITHOUT PROVOCATION, then Israel could be sanctioned by the United Nations.

The thinking is that, Israel will instigate some type of maneuver to make it look like a provocation from Iran – and strike with immediate, overwhelming military might – forcing the United States to make a quick decision as to come to the aid of our most trusted ally in the Middle East – or sit back and watch.

Either way, President Obama has allowed himself to be painted into a corner – one in which it seems that he cannot get out of.

The recent “doings” regarding the “super committee,” and its stated goal of cutting military defense spending by 50% if a budget deal is not reached, only exacerbates the situation.

President Obama is viewed as a weak leader, and rightly so. If he is to prevail, and “throw in” with Israel, then he is a shoo-in for re-election.

If, on the other hand, he dithers – while Israel does all the “heavy lifting” – he will be a one term President – and history will view him in an even dimmer light than that of Jimmy Carter.

Herman Cain was doing fine – until ABORTION became the “hot topic” – and he blew it badly. He will be shunned by the ULTRA-RIGHT contingency that STILL controls the Republican Party.

Mitt Romney will ultimately be the GOP standard bearer – as I predicted over a year ago.

I am not so much mad about my prediction being correct from the “get go.” I have a fairly good record as to calling what is going on in politics. My apologies to those readers who would like to see me “blow it” more often – but I call them as I see them – and that has always generated a lot of envy from those who can’t seem to see beyond their own nose.

What I am referring to – as I have done so MANY times in the past (actually since I ran for Congress eons ago in 2004) is the complete STUPIDITY of the Evangelical Element when they insist upon using the same old tactic “LITMUS TEST” of ABORTION.

The only abortion that I now see is the Evangelical Element – once again – raising its self-righteous abortion issue yet again.

If these lunatics are allowed to continue – and if Romney is “chosen” by the GOP – then Obama will be re-elected in 2012.

There is the old saw that defines stupidity as doing the same thing and expecting different results.

The Evangelical Element is a pariah on the GOP. Until the Republicans completely EXPUNGE this group of sick individuals – the Republican Party will never win another Presidential Election.

Back in 1948, when these same individuals were poisoning the Democratic Party, the Dixiecrats stormed out of the Democratic National Convention – and went to the Grand Old Party and begged to be let in, promising political power and retribution – if only they could bring their poisonous religious fervor of Abortion and anti-homosexual sentiments with them.

The Republicans relented – and accepted this tribe of religious fanatics into the GOP. Once in, they began their own “crusade” to swing the Republican Party so far to the Right that it is now unrecognizable from the once dynamic and principled party of its former self.

The Democrats were smart to let those racist bigots go.

The Republicans made a pact with the Devil – and let the Evangelical Element into the GOP – and they have been paying for it ever since.

This group of religious perverts were the exact same people who gave one of our greatest senators – Barry Goldwater – nothing but headaches when he ran for President in 1964. Goldwater DESPISED this group of malcontents for their INTOLERANCE and RELIGIOUS HYPOCRISY.

But these stupid “know-nothings” did not stop with badgering one of the truly GREAT Common Sense Conservatives of our time.

The Evangelical Element even made life difficult for one of our greatest Presidents – Ronald Reagan. More than once he wished that those hair-brained idiots would simply disappear.

During my campaign, I had more than one “religious” jerk come up to me and say:

“What is your stand on abortion?”

When I explained that it is not for the government to decide – but for the family to decide – every single one of those very same people went ballistic and delcared, “I will NEVER VOTE FOR YOU.”

That was it. That is as far as those ignorant – and arrogant – people can think.

So, here we are today, with President Obama.

His election is not so much a credit to the Democrats – as it is to the Evangelical Element – for driving out more moderate Republicans, all Conservative Democrats – not to mention the Libertarians and Independent voters by the millions.

The Dixiecrats ran from the Democratic convention into the open arms of the Republicans – and we have been getting shafted by the Evangelical Element ever since.

So, here is what I intend to do.

If Romney gets the nod – as I am SURE he will – it makes no difference who his running mate is – he will lose, and we will be shackled with four more years of Obama. It is a foregone conclusion.

I predict this will happen.

And if it does, then I will have to concede defeat – and put the AMERICAN TELEGRAPH to bed.

This situation reminds me of the old Jewish joke:

A young Rabbi was talking with an old Rabbi who was at the Wailing Wall performing his daily prayers.

The young Rabbi asked what the old Rabbi was praying for.

“I am praying for Peace in the Middle East

“So, what do you think about your prayers,” asked the young Rabbi.

“Like I am talking to a wall,” came the reply.

And that is exactly how I feel today.

Herman Cain is the BEST candidate we have – and the Evangelical Element is doing its best to discredit him on this single issue of abortion.

If that happens, it will be on the conscience of the Evangelical Element for the next 50 years.

This is one prediction that I hope I am completely wrong on – but something tells me it is going to come to pass.

I cry for America if this is the case.

Please, try to keep thinking positive and remember to vote for America – not for any single issue.

Over a year ago I predicted that race, and racism, would be a huge factor in the coming years. It has gone beyond my wildest estimations as to how true that prediction was.

Yet, I got a lot of people calling me racist for even thinking such a thing.

“Just because Barack Obama is an African-American you can only think in racist terms.”

I had this type of comment on a daily basis in personal conversations and in private e-mails.

But now, only silence, from those who used to chastise me for even breaching the subject.

FIRST – THE RACE

My brother, David, was more up on Herman Cain than I was. After all, he knows the man and also lives in Georgia – the cradle of the South.

It seems that the Southern White and Black people actually like Herman Cain. He is not only smart, but he is really smart.

But the main problem with Herman Cain is that he does not have the money backing that Romney has.

It is my firm belief that Romney will eventually get the GOP nod. If he does, then the paramount question will be who his running mate should be.

And that will be the deciding factor if the Republicans are to win in 2012.

Cain has been called, among other things, an Oreo.

Last time I checked, an Oreo was a chocolate cookie with a white filling. Yes, I am aware of the racial slur it implies.

But Mr. Cain is not black on the outside and white on the inside – he is AMERICAN – through and through.

And THAT is what has the Democrats scared shitless of him. Mr. Cain has worked himself up from the bottom. Notice, I said WORKED.

And therein lies the problem with Black Herman Cain. If he can do it – then ALL Americans of African Ancestry can do it.

If that is the case, then what happens to the Democratic base of Black voters.

It evaporates. And that scares them no end. What the Democrats have done to Americans of African Ancestry is criminal. Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters just to name a few – have lived – thrived off of racism.

Ernesto Patriota and I were slugging back a few beers the other night when he said something very profound. When we got on the subject of racism he said, in a matter-of-fact fashion that, “If you are not white, every affront in America is perceived as racist.”

And he is right. I had the exact same experience in Japan. As you may, or may not know, Japan is still a very insular – and racist – society. I learned that lesson the hard way. But I made myself determined to work through it, settled down and began to see things in a different light – and made a lot of money working within the racism that is endemic in Japanese society.

And there is where the Democrats are running scared.

By all measures – Americans of African Ancestry are still at the bottom of the societal totem pole. There is only one group lower in economic and social status – and that is the American Indian.

But the Black American community is still the Ghetto. Let’s be painfully blunt here.

When people ride through the streets of Watts, South Central, Compton or Skid Row – just off of Wilshire Blvd., in Los Angeles – they still roll up their windows and lock their doors.

When I was a kid, ever time my family had to go through those sections of town the first thing my father always said was, “Roll up you windows and lock your doors – and don’t stare at anybody.”

Talk about fear. I was scared of Black people until I went into the Army.

It was only in the Army that I was first taught by almost all Black Drill Instructors. And they were some of the best teachers I ever had in my life – including all of my college and university “education.”

These Black soldiers had found a way to “make it” in life. They worked hard, cussed up a blue streak, were fair with their troops, taught us respect for ourselves – and for each other – and in the process erased my inbred notions of racial prejudice. Thanks to them I finally rid myself of that wet blanket of racism.

In fact, in my novel entitled, LAND, the character of Oscar Montgomery is based on a number of my Black instructors. They left a lasting – and positive – impression on me to this very day.

(If you have not yet read my novel, it is still available via Amazon.com. As a further side note, it seems that the Vietnam War is having a rebirth of interest in this country – so much so, that they are building a new “picture” memorial to all the men and women killed in that war.)

Just a thought. Sorry for the digression.

So many people nowadays have never had that Military experience. So when a Herman Cain comes along, tells them to straighten up and WORK for living, everybody freaks out.

Here is a Black man telling other Black people to get off their lazy (entitlement) asses and take advantage of EVERYTHING that America has to offer to anyone who is willing to work hard and get ahead.

And if that happens – then what are we going to do with the Welfare INDUSTRY that we have developed over the decades? It will start to implode – and that is NOT what the Democrats want.

The Democrats have bullshitted the Black community into believing that their plight in life is because of WHITE racism.

Yet, along comes Herman Cain, and tells them that they have been hoodwinked by the Democrats.

Remember, the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 by President Johnson – a Democrat.

But it never would have been possible without the help of Republicans – because the Democrats did NOT want equality for Black people, and refused to back Johnson in his effort. Johnson turned to the Republicans – and they helped him get the Civil Rights Act passed – over the protests of the racist Democratic Party.

This is a simple matter or historical record. Read history – it is all there.

Yet, the majority of Black people don’t even know this.

And here we are today, with most Black people STILL voting for the Democrats – and they are STILL in horrible shape economically – not to mention broken homes, 70% fatherless families, a bulging criminal population – and yes, poor social standing.

Black families that I know espouse CONSERVATIVE concepts – most are God fearing, family oriented, honest and hardworking people. All elements of the Republican Party.

Yet, even these families believe that they are still being put upon by the white majority.

Then along comes Herman Cain, tells them that is not the case – and now comes the racism comments from all sides – but mainly from Black Democrats that have nothing to gain from him becoming President – and everything to lose.

Please remember:

Racism is Big Business in America

The crux of the whole situation is this: Democrats want to “take care of” the Black population – so as to shore up their political base through Entitlements.

Republicans want the Black population to wake up, work for themselves – and become rich – so the tax paying public doesn’t have to pay for the Welfare State through ever-mounting Entitlement programs, that so many are now addicted to. And to be sure, it is not only Black Americans that have bought into this Entitlement mentality.

Democrats want the Black population to depend on them, as well as other groups of “color.”

Republicans want the Black population, as well as other “minorities,” to depend upon themselves.

It is only through self-reliance that the Black population ever get out of the Black Ghetto. They have been there since they were “freed.”

Consider this: The Democratic Party is the oldest political party functioning in the United States. The founders of this group – established by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison – were both SLAVE OWNERS.

Add to that mix, Andrew Johnson – a rabid bigot and racist – as Vice President to Lincoln, only because he would placate the South. Andrew Johnson was eventually impeached.

Then there are other Democrats – Robert Byrd (KKK Wizard), George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Strom Thurmond – and a whole horde of racist bigots – ALL Democrats.

The Black population of America has been sold a HUGE bill of goods – and they even bit more on the “chump bait” when they voted for Obama – just because he was Black.

To this very day they are still being “serviced” by the Democratic Party.

And THAT, my friends, is the simple, unvarnished truth.

Once Americans of Black Ancestry start to think like Herman Cain – and act like him – they will achieve social, and financial success. Not until then.

Remember, it was the Republican Party of Lincoln that freed the slaves.

And this has rankled the Democrats ever since – thus their continued pretending to want to “protect and help” the Black population.

It is a Democrat lie. The sooner Americans of African Ancestry wake up to this simple fact, the better off they – and America – will be. This holds true for all other racial minorities.

Wake up!

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., MEMORIAL

I was somewhat disappointed when I saw what happened at the MLK Memorial dedication. In my opinion, the political rhetoric that took place was a disgrace.

Instead of restating what Dr. King stood for, they went off on more than one political bent. It was depressing to say the least.

If they had dealt on the positive concepts of America – instead of a thinly veiled, racially implied, attack on this Nation , it would have been much more inspirational to watch.

Then again, there was only one Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. May he rest in peace.

“Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, free at last”

THE CONSTITUTION

In my last newsletter, I started to reprint the United States Constitution, in sections. I had tremendous response by readers – and I thank all of you who took the time to write. Very much appreciated.

With that in mind, I continue today with Section 3.

I hope you enjoy reading one of the greatest documents ever written – that tries to include ALL Americans in their perrineal quest for LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

Section. 3.The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof [Modified by Amendment XVII], for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.

Next time I will continue with Section 7.

Thank you all for your time and consideration – and support. Without you, THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH would not exist.

I have had a number of political conversations with people over the last few weeks that give me pause for concern.

More and more Republicans think Obama is “done for.” And the more I watch pundits on FOX News grin and expound upon how Obama is going to be a “one-term president,” I shudder in my boots.

Obama is not out of the running in the least. And here is why.

There are still about 40% of the American voting public that will vote for Obama – no matter what he does.

So simple “math” tells me that all he needs to do is convince another 11% percent to vote for him – and we have President Obama for another four years.

Many readers have chided me, both on the blog and in many personal e-mails, for “talking down” the GOP – and not bad-mouthing the Democrats for their many faults and discrepancies.

In all honesty, that is not the purpose of THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.

What I am trying to do with this newsletter is provide readers with a different way of thinking. I leave the “news” to the mass media – and that includes FOX News.

Why should I repeat what people already know? There is no point in doing that. What I want to do is point out what people don’t know – or are unaware of. THAT is the point of this newsletter.

Also, I am not trying to show people what to think – but how to think.

Bearing this in mind, I have found that more and more people are taking the bait – once again – and thinking that Obama is simply going to lose.

Nothing could be further than the truth.

Yet, the arrogance and ignorance of many GOP pundits are acting like Obama will not make it to a second term.

Here are a few things to consider:

1. Everyone has taken up the mantra that “It is the economy, stupid.” This is true, to a point. But what if the economy does get better? If it goes from 9% to 8% that means it is getting better.

If the employment rate is at 7.5 to 8.0% – and if gas is around $3.00 a gallon – then what will the GOP have to say? They will be stuck with an improving economy. Where do they go from there?

2. China is on the lips of few GOP contenders. Jon Huntsman is one person who actually KNOWS what the hell is going on in that country – and he is not afraid to tell the Chinese where to get off – in their own language. But other candidates hem and haw when it comes to China – for fear of “offending” them because of the huge debt we owe them.

3. Iran is extremely close to having the Nuclear Bomb. No candidate has enough courage to discuss this in an open fashion. Not one candidate has said, “Let’s get together with Israel and simply take out Iran’s nuclear capability – before it is too late.”

4. Russia, according to many observers, is going to get “right in the face” of Obama – if he is reelected. Few people are aware that Putin is going to be the Russian President – again. He has explicit designs on establishing Russia as a dominant WORLD Power. In closed conversations, I have been told that Putin considers Obama as a “chump” and doesn’t have a clue as to what the world situation really is.

5. The entire Middle East is in turmoil, yet no GOP candidate has put forth the idea of backing only Democratic States in the region – and cutting off all aid to countries that mean to do us harm. Saudi Arabia is the first on my list to completely jettison – followed closely by Pakistan.

6. No GOP candidate has ever mentioned the fact that we, in America, have more oil than all of the Middle East put together. Why does not one GOP candidate say, “To hell with all countries in the Middle East that are not on our side. And to hell with your oil.”

I could go on, but my point is this. National Security is vital to America. Yes, I know all the rhetoric about “Jobs are a vital part of our national security” – but that is a smokescreen.

The real threat to our National Security is the perception of ineptness in the White House. Obama is laughed at around the world – yet the GOP still gets side-tracked with Chris Christie, the “Fence” and vaccinations?

Who the hell is running this circus, anyway?

KISSINGER’S SECRET

My much travelled friend, who constantly has kept me in the loop since my campaign for Congress eons ago, passed through Sacramento on his way to LA, en route to Austin, Texas, a few nights ago. As always, we tied up for a few hours and he told me something very interesting – and something that I have not been able to verify. He challenged me to try and get validation. He was right, I could not. I have heard this story before but only through reading certain accounts of the matter.

He told me that back in the early 1970s, Henry Kissinger, made a secret pact with the Saud Family (Saudi Arabia), in which we, AMERICA, would import most of our Middle Eastern oil from that nation.

In doing so, Kissinger was able to get the King to agree on selling 1 barrell of oil (55 gallons) for less than $5 a barrel. Remember, at that time gas was still in the $1 arena.

If America agreed to this, then the USA would not use its own abundant sources of oil, and instead use all the oil that Saudi Arabia would provide us.

This would, in effect, keep the Saud family in POWER. Saudi Arabia has only one export – OIL.

Kissinger’s reasoning was that, if we could buy their oil at such a great price, we could then save (stockpile) our own oil for future use, in time of national emergency.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Use up their oil while saving ours. Pretty simple – but dumb.

The big string (rope) attached to this secret deal was that the United States Military would come to Saudi Arabia’s aid whenever asked to do so. Kissinger agreed to this stipulation – with disastrous consequences – of which we are paying for to this very day. I need not go into the events which followed. Think Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Pakistan just to name a few.

But now, the price of oil has gone through the roof, oil shale has been discovered and the concept of independent sources of oil for the United States is finally entering the national debate.

Saudi Arabia (the Saud family) is in very dangerous shape – but you will not see this being reported in the media.

What you will see is that the King of Saudi Arabia has JUST granted women the right to vote. This gives the impression that Saudi Arabia is changing. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Status Quo is trying everything within it power to remain in power. The “vote” is only limited to local elections – and will be PROMISED to begin in 2015.

Women are still not allowed to drive a car, nor can they go outside without a male family member escorting them – even to just go grocery shopping. And just today, it has been reported that a Saudi woman has been sentenced to 10 lashes for driving by this ultra-conservative Muslim nation.

Saudi Arabia, by all accounts is one of the most repressive regimes in the world, yet they are one of our strongest allies – simply because of the secret Kissinger Oil Deal. Is it any wonder that the average people of the Middle East actually don’t like us?

Enter Pakistan. My friend told me that a few days ago he was told that America is actually in secret discussions with other countries about a possible invasion of Pakistan.

What is happening is that the United States is still committed to protecting the Saud family – a staunch friend of the Bush family – and the bin Laden family. Yes, you read that right.

Am I talking a conspiracy here? Not at all. This has all been reported in the media – except for the small tidbit about Kissinger’s secret agreement with Saudi Arabia.

And therein lies the rub.

If America reneges on it secret agreement – then Saudi Arabia will go with whoever agrees to take up the vacuum created by America no longer purchasing oil from the Saudis.

I know this is getting complicated. They call it International Relations – and it gets VERY messy.

If Saudi Arabia starts to pump oil for Pakistan, it will be helping the rogue terrorists that, in essence, are controlling that country. Remember, Pakistan has a long relationship with India – all BAD.

Both India and Pakistan are Nuclear Nations.

India also has another neighbor on its border that is despises – CHINA. And China is also armed with Nuclear Weapons.

But the real message here is that ONE-THIRD of Kashmir (a historical problem for India, Pakistan and China) is controlled by Pakistan. The Kashmir people want to be independent – but India, China and Pakistan want it as a BUFFER STATE in case of war with any of the bordering states just mentioned above.

I hope this is all making sense. In a nutshell, America is precariously close to getting itself involved in a FOURTH war with Pakistan. If that event ever comes to pass – we are all in BIG trouble.

Thus, my dismay as to why the GOP – and everybody else for that matter – refuses to discuss National Defense AS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM THIS COUNTRY FACES.

National Security should be our NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

Jobs are important – but if Obama pulls off a downtrend in the unemployment rate, and gas is around $3 or less at the gas pump come election day – the GOP will find itself swimming upstream and sinking fast.

It is something that is being purposely ignored – and MUST be addressed, for the sake of our National Security – and that of the entire World.

THE CONSTITUTION

For quite some time now I have heard that “Constitutional Professors” do not actually teach what the Constitution says. It is my understanding that instead of reading – and comprehending – what the Constitution really is all about – they simply take court cases and study them in contrast to how the United States Constitution was actually written – and what it means.

So I thought it might be a good idea for me to start a somewhat mini-series of what the Constitution really says.

Here is the first installment:

This is the preamble, Article I, Sections 1 and 2.

I hope you find it interesting reading and at the same time try to understand what it really means.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article. I.

Section. 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Section. 2.The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons [Modified by Amendment XIV]. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to choose three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.

The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

It is always interesting to me as to how many times the Constitution has actually been changed, amended, and “readjusted” yet it seems to keep its somewhat original form.

Also, please bear in mind that it almost never became law. The first 10 Amendments (The Bill of Rights) had to be inserted before everybody was even willing to sign on.

Think about it for a moment. The Constitution was amended – 10 times – before it ever became law.

In the next issue I will continue from Section 3.

I will also wait until the end of the Constitution to go into the 27 Amendments.

It is hoped that you will take the chance to reacquaint yourself with the United States Constitution – the “true” Law of the Land.

Until next time, best wishes, keep thinking positive and remember: Hope for Change in 2012.

I know, I have written about the FED before and my disdain for this illegal institution has not changed one iota.

Stick with me on this one. It will be somewhat convoluted – but I assure you, once I am done – you will finally get the WHOLE picture.

But let me go back a little – about 600 years – and show exactly why the FED was established in the first place.

When Columbus “discovered” America, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain wanted to know the significance of such a far flung land that nobody had ever seen – not to mention heard of.

Columbus was reported to have said, “There are enough trees to build your majesty a 1000 ship Armada.” (The Spanish Armada).

That was enough for the King and Queen of Spain.

Fast forward to the Founding Fathers – most of whom had a hatred of any concept of a Central Bank controlled by secret, private investment bankers – who were responsible to no one but themselves.

That means secrecy would reign supreme – and there would be no audits of the money whatsoever.

George Washington was averse to ANY foreign involvements – least America get sucked into the petty, political skirmishes that Europe has ALWAYS been immersed in – even to this very day. He wanted to avoid all such entanglements.

Thomas Jefferson knew the REAL reason that European Elites wanted to control our economy. The IMMENSE POWER and UNBELIEVABLE WEALTH that America afforded – to help Europe keep up its wars and to FINANCE the Old World with the Gold and other abundant Natural Resources of the New World.

Andrew Jackson was adamant against the Central Bank and their criminal designs on America – for the benefit of Europe – at the expense of America and the American people. Jackson was threatened with death many times for his stand on this subject.

Abraham Lincoln was totally against a FED and many suppose that his assassination had a lot to do with his steadfast refusal to go along with the milking of America – for the benefit of Europe.

John Kennedy was ready to abolish the FED when he was assassinated. Many believe, to this day, that European operatives had a hand in his death – thus preserving the roll of this insidious institution.

Oswald and Jack Rudy were nothing but ploys – as was Castro. We will never know the true story. And just to make sure – the Warren Commission Report on the assassination of JFK was sealed – and guarded 24 hours a day – for 99 years. That is real, unabashed POWER.

Remember, when Woodrow Wilson actually agreed to the establishment of a Central Bank, he later confided to friends that this was the biggest mistake of his life – bigger than involving America in World War I – a European War.

So, against the warnings of such prestigious American Presidents – the FED was established – and continues to this day.

Washington and Jefferson both warned that a Central Bank could, in essence, bankrupt America.

Jackson, Lincoln and Kennedy said the same thing.

In 1913 the FED was established – as was the Federal Income Tax (IRS) – to fund the political and economic agendas of Europe – not America.

We are precariously near the financial collapse that our Founding Fathers so adamantly warned us against.

YES, KLEPINGER – YOU HAVE FINALLY GONE NUTS!

Not quite.

America, against the advice of Washington, established the FED – and we were drawn into both World War I and World War II. How could George Washington known this would happen – over 200 years ago?

The answer is simple. Washington was well aware of the immense POWER and WEALTH of the European MONARCHIES – and the lengths they would go to in RETAINING that power.

Some of the oldest monarchies in the world STILL reside in Europe – England being one of the biggest and oldest.

They still have Monarchy gatherings at secret places in Europe once a year. Secret meetings!

And these monarchies relied on such powerful families as the Rothchild Family and other very well connected groups to fund their monarchies.

And where were these monarchies and families to get this financing?

From the New World.

Enough trees to build a 1000 ship Armada.

Enough Gold to sink ships on their way back to Europe with their greedy habit of OVERLOADING their cargo holds.

Imagine, SHIP LOADS of gold. So much gold that many of the vessels sank to the bottom of the ocean.

And that is just the tip of the FED.

One caveat – and this is an important one.

Many people mistakenly blame the Jews – and the Rothchild Family in particular – as the brainchild of this complete misappropriation of American wealth.

But that is a ploy of giant proportions. It is another attempt to blame the Jews for everything.

Are the Jews completely innocent? Of course not. Nor are the other denominations involved.

They a just a PART of the monarchy puzzle – the European Monarchy Puzzle.

Over the years, other countries’ leaders have come into the fold, and have supped at the trough of American largess, American goodwill – and American naive stupidity.

I know you are probably tiring of this, so at this point I will cut to the apparent facts that few, if any, readers are remotely aware of.

All of the below information was sent to me by a very good friend and reader of The American Telegraph. Thanks Naida!

If any of this information is not accurate, please write to the Blog on The American Telegraph and tell us all what the real story is.

But as far as I am concerned this is true – and has been verified. Please let us all know if you find out otherwise.

I confess that I do not know who the writer of this information is, but it is startling nonetheless, since much of this is a matter of the Congressional Record.

I take no credit for this information and would like to have the names of the people who wrote this – so they can receive proper accolades. I am just reporting what was given to me.

Here is what I received:

“The first ever GAO audit of the Federal Reserve was carried out in the past few months due to the Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill, which passed last year. Jim DeMint, a Republican Senator, and Bernie Sanders, an Independent Senator, led the charge for a Federal Reserve audit in the Senate, but watered down the original language of the House bill (HR1207), so that a complete audit would not be carried out.

Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers vehemently opposed the audit and lied to Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. Nevertheless, the results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve’s nearly 100 year history were posted on Senator Sander’s webpage.

$16,000,000,000,000.00 (TRILLION) had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve had secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments.

The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest.

Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious.

The American public would have been outraged to find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs.

To place $16 trillion into perspective, remember that the GDP of the United States is only $14.12 trillion. The entire national debt of the United States government spanning its 200+ year history is only $14.5 trillion.

The budget that is being debated so heavily in Congress and the Senate is only $3.5 trillion. Take all of the outrage and debate over the $1.5 trillion deficit into consideration, and swallow this Red pill: There was no debate about whether $16,000,000,000,000 would be given to failing banks and failing corporations around the world.

In late 2008, the TARP Bailout bill was passed and loans of $800 billion were given to failing banks and companies. That was a blatant lie considering the fact that Goldman Sachs alone received 814 billion dollars.

As is turns out, the Federal Reserve donated $2.5 trillion to Citigroup, while Morgan Stanley received $2.04 trillion.

The Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank, a German bank, split about a trillion and numerous other banks received hefty chunks of the $16 trillion.

When you have conservative Republican stalwarts like Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Ron Paul (R-TX) as well as self identified Democratic Socialists like Bernie Sanders all fighting against the Federal Reserve, you know that it is no longer an issue of Right versus Left.

When you have every single member of the Republican Party in Congress and progressive Congressmen like Dennis Kucinich sponsoring a bill to audit the Federal Reserve, you realize that the Federal Reserve is an entity onto itself, which has no oversight and no accountability.

Americans should be swelled with anger and outrage at the abysmal state of affairs when an unelected group of bankers can create money out of thin air and give it out to megabanks and supercorporations like Halloween candy.

The list of institutions that received the most money from the Federal Reserve can be found on page 131 of the GAO Audit and are as follows:

Citigroup: $2.5 trillion($2,500,000,000,000)

Morgan Stanley: $2.04 trillion ($2,040,000,000,000)

Merrill Lynch: $1.949 trillion ($1,949,000,000,000)

Bank of America: $1.344 trillion ($1,344,000,000,000)

Barclays PLC (United Kingdom): $868 billion ($868,000,000,000)

Bear Sterns: $853 billion ($853,000,000,000)

Goldman Sachs: $814 billion ($814,000,000,000)

Royal Bank of Scotland (UK): $541 billion ($541,000,000,000)

JP Morgan Chase: $391 billion ($391,000,000,000)

Deutsche Bank (Germany): $354 billion ($354,000,000,000)

UBS (Switzerland): $287 billion ($287,000,000,000)

Credit Suisse (Switzerland): $262 billion ($262,000,000,000)

Lehman Brothers: $183 billion ($183,000,000,000)

Bank of Scotland (UK): $181 billion ($181,000,000,000)

BNP Paribas (France): $175 billion ($175,000,000,000)”

WHO HAS HEARD ABOUT THIS?

As stated earlier, that was was sent to me. Please let me know if you have other information to substantiate this information.

If this is true, it is beyond comprehension why this is NOT the NUMBER ONE platform of any candidate running for President.

But wait – there is ONE person who has tried to wake us all up: Ron Paul.

And the corrupt WORLD MEDIA is trying to make sure that he NEVER gets the nomination, much less be elected as the President of the United States of America.

If that happens, word is out that his fate will end up exactly like that of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy.

This group of ultra secret – UNELECTED BANDITS – will stop at nothing.

This fact of the FED bankrupting all of America should be brought up at every political gathering, every political debate and every discussion with our “representatives” every day – until the FED is finally – and completely abolished FOREVER – along with the Internal Revenue Service.

I repeat – abolished. Not amended or “fixed.”

ABOLISHED!

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

I have never liked the idea of the Electoral College. It has always been a puzzle to me that our Founding Fathers would establish such an institution – when considering their profound desire to establish a free, democratic Republic.

But that is what they did – along with excluding American Indians and women from voting altogether, African Slaves (a portion thereof devised as a fraction for voting purposes of their owners) and also persons who did not own sufficient land. Basically, white male, landed gentry, were the only ones who were allowed to vote in the early years of the Republic.

Of course, all of this has changed over the centuries but the institution of the Electoral College still remains.

In theory, when this group meets in December of Presidential election cycles, they can cast their votes for whomever they want – although precedent has, for the most part – seen electors vote as the people voted, thus “confirming” the next American President.

I have always felt that the original writers of the Constitution were not completely convinced that WE THE PEOPLE could really be trusted with electing our own President – and wanted to have a “safety valve” just in case some “unfit” person were to rise to the presidency.

That being said, and my abhorrence of this institution fully noted, it is still the situation as we know it today.

Another reader sent me this information and I wanted to pass it along to The American Telegraph readers for your own information and enlightenment. Thanks, Gerrit!

If you are so inclined, and wish to see how the system really works, I suggest that you click on to the link below and avail yourself to this Constitutional invention.

For those of you who are not fully aware of how it works it will be a real eye-opener.

When you tie in the FED – the IRS – and the Electoral College – together in one big, red, white and blue bow – you will discover how free WE THE PEOPLE really are NOT.

cur·mudg·eon:

[ker-muhj-uhn] (noun) a bad-tempered, difficult, cantankerous person.

Perception is reality – or so the saying goes. What you see is what you get.

I was talking with friends yesterday, who are still firmly behind Obama, when they let fly with how the whole problem in America is the Tea Party’s fault – and those “damn Republicans” — “All they want to do is say No!”

“The president is trying to work with them, but that guy—what’s his name, with that sourpuss look—is always being an asshole.”

Although my friends did not know Speaker of the House John Boehner, by name – they can still VOTE.

And this was before President Obama even spoke on national TV last evening.

In a nutshell, this is where the Democrats have it all over the Republicans, and the dumb GOP leaders STILL don’t get it.

So let me put a scenario in front of you and see what you think.

For grins, this will be the Imaginary Leader of the GOP speaking, readying his troops before Obama is to give his speech to a joint session of Congress:

“OK, you guys, here is the plan. No matter what Obama says tonight, when the Democrats start applauding and smiling, we do it too – only louder and longer. Jump up and down, high-five each other, do a victory dance on the floor of Congress, throw confetti, launch red, white and blue balloons, but above all else remember to – SMILE, SMILE, SMILE. We can take care of business LATER.”

It is a simple ploy of the Chicago Mafia Machine ever since Capone ruled the Windy City – long before Jimmy Hoffa or Mayor Daly #2 happened upon the scene. Smile, while you stab them in the back.

The whole idea of public leadership is to cajole, connive and confuse the populace that you are for something – and then do exactly the opposite when no one is looking.

“Persuasive deceit is the art of a successful politician.”

Is this lying? Of course it is. Does Obama lie? All the time. And so do the Republicans.

But Obama does it with a smile. He does it with convincing oratory. He does it with professional, political aplomb.

So what do the dumb ass Republicans do?

They let it be known that they are going to do ANYTHING it takes to make Obama a “one term president.”

There was a movie a while back in which a Mafia gangster had a daughter, who wanted to always kick ass and take names – and was very vocal about it.

One day the father took his boisterous daughter aside and gave her a little advice:

“Look kid, I know your heart is in the right place but you gotta learn one thing. You don’t tell a guy you are going to kick him in the balls – because he is going to be ready. You just walk up, smile – and THEN kick him in the balls.”

Pretty simple advice – all of which continues to fall on the perennial deaf ears of the GOP.

The main phrase in this sage advice from the father is, “because he is going to be ready.”

The GOP has been upfront, to the point – and truthful – for the most past.

The Democrats have been cunning, deceitful and circumventive – for the most past.

And after President Obama’s speech last night – in my opinion, his best since taking office – he is once again, short on specifics when promising everything to everyone, yet deftly pointing the “finger” in the direction of the Republicans and saying, “Pass my plan.”

Every GOP member in the Chamber looked like little children – angry, glaring, foreboding in both manner and body language. Through gritted teeth, you could almost hear them saying, “I’ll get you for this.”

If the GOP keeps up this type of public persona – they will lose by a wide margin in 2012.

They need to change their plan of attack very quickly and quit TELEGRAPHING their moves – because last night President Obama gave the opening shot to his 2012 election campaign – and it was a beauty.

SNITTY CONSERVATIVES – AND THE UBER-RIGHT

I have friends from across the political, as well as social spectrum – mainly because I no longer take life so seriously.

“Life is too short to let it get you down.”

However, I still love America and will continue to do so for the rest of my life – thus the establishment of THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.

But you can talk, and talk and talk – for only so long. Sooner or later you have to DO.

When I ran for Congress back in 2004, I was just another dumb ass Republican. I told the truth.

However, my mistake was not with the Democrats – but with the Republicans – most notably the Right Wing – and the even farther right, UBER-RIGHT WING.

These are the people who are now crying the loudest, protesting the most and constantly bellyaching about all that is wrong with America today – and it is all Obama’s fault.

Sorry, folks. It is not all Obama’s fault.

The GOP – and the insipid leadership that it has taken on in recent years – has played an integral part in the downward trend of this great Country of ours.

When I ran for office, I told everybody where I stood – and kept no secrets about my disdain for the faction (fraction) of the politically inept who – at that time – ran the Washington State GOP.

My mistake. I set myself up as a target – a NON-MOVING target.

I laid out my plan in concise, easy to understand terms. That was my biggest mistake.

But my main opposition did not come from the Democrats – as I had naively expected.

Most of my problems stemmed from the short-sighted, uber-right wing that wanted nothing to do with ANYBODY who believed that abortion was a woman’s right – NOT the Government’s right -and that homosexuals should be treated equally.

Had I played my hand differently – in saying that those were personal “issues” – and should be left up to the individual, as I STILL believe – I would have won the endorsement of the GOP. This was told to me by more than one Republican – on the QT, of course.

But no, Larry Klepinger, said, “Hey, GOP, I am going to kick you in the balls on these “issues” and consequently lost – albeit by a very close margin – in the primary.

Instead of being cunning and deceitful – I told the truth – and paid the price.

Colin Powell once said, “If you want to piss people off, tell them the truth.”

THAT is the truth.

“People abhor the truth, thus lies were invented.”

A CHALLENGE TO THE GOP RIGHT AND UBER-RIGHT

As it stands now – President Obama is going to win in a landslide in 2012.

This is not a defeatist position. It is a realistic one.

To this very day, the GOP has not put forward a candidate that can WIN.

Every right-wing and uber-right wing person I have talked with has stated REPEATEDLY that they would vote for ANYBODY – “except Barack Hussein Obama.”

Let’s back up a little.

The first objective in Politics is to WIN. That means to gain POWER.

The second objective in Politics is to MAINTAIN THAT POWER.

President Obama has accomplished the first objective – thanks to a splintered GOP and dysfunctional Republican leadership.

He has now – as of last night – embarked on his second objective – to MAINTAIN his power.

If that actually happens, my heart cries for America.

So, here is the challenge.

If you REALLY care about America – and REALLY want to WIN back the White House – then the only winning ticket I see is:

JON HUNTSMAN – PRESIDENT

SCOTT BROWN – VICE PRESIDENT

I know, for a fact, that right wing Republicans and the Uber-right wing in particular, winced with pain and immediately seethed with anger, when they read this.

And THAT is the point I am trying to make.

If the GOP wants to win – then they had better BACK A WINNING TICKET!

Jon Huntsman is a true American. But beyond that he is articulate, SMART – and good looking

Scott Brown is a true American. But beyond that he is good looking! Of course, he has much more going for him, but you get the point.

PLEASE, remember the crux of this whole conversation:

Perception is Reality.

A ticket of Huntsman and Brown IS a winning ticket – par excellance.

They would attract MOST of the female vote – because of their good looks. Sorry, but poll after poll have shown that women are more likely to vote for a handsome candidate – more so than a dower, sullen one.

Huntsman and Brown can stand up to the debate lectern and hold their own – without the aid of a Tele-prompter.

A ticket of Huntsman and Brown could UNITE the MAINSTREAM GOP, the Moderate Democrats, the Independents and Libertarians – and lead the Republicans to victory in 2012.

And how about this for a winning slogan:

HUNTSMAN AND BROWN – WON’T LET YOU DOWN!

Then again – the GOP “leadership” could, in all its inglorious tomfoolery, stick us with a Romney/Perry ticket and lead us all, yet again, to defeat in 2012.

One last, very important point, one that I picked up in my debate classes when obtaining my minor degree in speech communication.

During debate – DO NOT WATCH THE SPEAKER – watch the AUDIENCE and how it is reacting. And make sure to watch the OPPOSING DEBATER – and how he is reacting.

When you listen to the speaker – but watch the recipients of the message – and you have double input, with regard to comprehension – as well as how the message is being RECEIVED.

With this in mind, please watch the audience that Obama speaks to. Look at their reactions, their smiles, their sparkling eyes, their hurried applause, their complete gullibility.

It is sad, but today’s American public has been so dumbed down that it actually elected a person with such “shady credentials” as Barack Obama.

But that is the price of freedom. The freedom to be ignorant is still, very much, an American right, almost inherently so.

An old lady once asked Benjamin Franklin what he, and the other Founders, had given the Country.

Franklin responded, “A Republic, ma’am, if you can keep it.”

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

This Sunday, as we reflect back on that fateful day, now a decade in arrears, we must never forget what the concept of National Security means.

Without a Strong National Defense everything else is a moot point.

History has proven this time and again.

For America to jeopardize its National Security through downsizing our National Defense – as President Barack Obama, and the Democrats wish to do – then we had better expect more terrorist activities in the future, not to mention more wars.

If a criminal is going to attack a person – and he has the choice of confronting an unarmed man or a man who is carrying a gun – which one do you think he will chose?

It is basic common sense. Defenseless nations fall prey to the strong. READ HISTORY.

I still remember where I was on September 11, 2001 – and so does everybody else who is reading this newsletter.

Let us resolve to never allow 9/11 to happen again.

Please say a prayer for those who lost their lives in the terrorist attack and hang out OLD GLORY to commemorate this sad, but still PROUD, day in our American History.

The above Maxim is one that I coined a few years ago and have since, put into one of my many Maxim Books to be published next year. I have been selling copies at outdoor sales around Sacramento all year, and people seem to really like them. But I digress.

During this Labor Day weekend, I thought it might be appropriate to do a Special Edition of the American Telegraph, and try to make it directly to the point of Labor Unions and Company Owners in America.

We all know how the Unions began – and the good causes they represented.

But did you know how other “good” organizations began – and how they ended up?

The Mafia, in its original form, was a group of men who banded together to protect the rights of artisans in Italy. They tried to protect the “workers” against the tyrant kings and queens of the day, who used many people as slave labor – and paid them little or nothing for their services.

We all know what happened to the Mafia – and who now controls that band of thugs.

Then, there was the Japanese Yakuza, in its original form, was another group of men who got together to protect themselves against the ruthless Japanese Emperors in the earlier period of Japanese history.

The Japanese Yakuza deteriorated into what it is today – an international organization of thugs, murders, and hit-men.

The Mafia and Yakuza had humble beginnings, and were well-respected, dedicated to protecting their own kind from the wanton thuggery of the “Leaders” of their time.

But during the course of years, the men in power of these organizations began to turn to criminal activities – out of PURE, SIMPLE GREED.

And now we have the Union organizations that were originally set up to help the “working stiff” against the greed and corruption of Mega-corporations and dishonest politicians.

We now know what happened to the Union Movement. Need I say any more than, “Jimmy Hoffa?”

UNIONS – THE RESULT OF GREEDY OWNERS

If there was a time for some serious thinking about Unions, it is now.

I have always thought that, if a company has a Union – then it does not CARE about its employees. It is as simple as that.

If Company Owners were REALLY concerned about those who work for them, then they could eliminate Unions, and their crime-based syndicates with relative ease.

But the Company Owners must first be convinced that it is in their best interests to be FAIR with their employees. Once this task is accomplished, then the corrupt union system that we have today will just fade into the annals of historical footnote.

Some simple ideas about how to accomplish this task were bantered about the other night between a few friends of mine, while slugging back too many Asahi Dry Beers (one of the best beers on the market) on this Labor Day Weekend.

Here are some of the ideas that we came up:

1. Convince company owners to SHARE THE PROFIT with their employees. This could be as little as a 10% profit distribution to all employees on a quarterly basis.

2. For each year the employee works for the company, award him 100 shares of the company stock as a loyalty bonus.

3. Take a hint from Japan. Every summer and every winter they have what they refer to as “Bonus Season.” This is when most employees are paid an extra amount – usually two or three times their monthly salary as a “bonus.” In return, the employees work long, hard hours – but also have one of the highest saving and banking rates in the world. American companies could very easily initiate a bonus system such as this.

4. Company CEOs should actually get down and dirty with all of their employees. This means putting on Levis and a short-sleeved shirt and get right in with the workers as they are performing their daily tasks. Talk with them, have lunch with them, get to know about their families – and really have concern for the people they employ.

5. CEOs and Company Presidents – and all upper echelon management – should take it upon themselves to limit the amount of pay that they receive. CEOs and Company Executives that pay themselves outlandish bonuses only add fuel to the employees ire, when they hear about $20 million dollar bonuses. Who the hell can justify a bonus of such a large amount – when workers are getting laid off all around the country? It simply is NOT right.

These are just a few thoughts and ideas that we were talking about. The main essence of our conversation was, in order to get rid of the criminal union organizations – and their overpaid Union Representatives – the CEOs and Company Executives MUST begin to think more about their employees well-being – and less about their own bloated salaries and bonuses.

As a consensus, we came to the conclusion that $10 million dollars should be the top pay for CEOs and Company Presidents – provided they do the 5 ideas as stated above.

Another lesson that American CEOs should learn from their Japanese CEO counterparts, is that the Japanese company leaders get paid MUCH less in salaries and bonuses. In doing so, they inspire more loyalty from their employees, as compared to American employees nowadays.

It is time for ALL American Company Leaders to start thinking about running their businesses in a more fair-handed manner. In doing so, the union thugs would simply disappear, the workers would be better cared for, and company executives would STILL reap huge paychecks – while the company enjoys even better profits.

I am hoping that readers will add to this discussion on how to make our American Companies the best in the world. Feel free to write your ideas and opinions on the Blog section of this newsletter.

I have noticed recently how so many people are genuinely worried that President Obama could lead America into oblivion.

Time after time, when I have conversations with friends, they are overly negative in their attitudes and assumptions about their own future – not to mention their dire predictions with regard to America.

I feel it is time to put some of this negative rhetoric into some sort of perspective.

In the beginning, our Founding Fathers did a remarkable job of designing a Constitution that has survived for over two centuries – and is still going strong.

The American Constitution is the longest surviving rule of Democratic Law in the World.

We can go into whether America is a “Democracy” or a “Republic” – the latter of which is the case – at some other time.

What I am trying to do now is show a different side of thinking that seems to be extremely lacking in today’s American Psyche: That of Positive Thinking.

Consider some of the following:

America – with all its flaws in the original Constitution, regarding American Indians, Americans of African Ancestry, women and the working classes who did not own land – has endured to this day.

All of the above problems were worked through – and the Constitution has been amended 27 times – to correct these earlier injustices.

In the interim, America endured:

The American Revolution – in which all odds were that the “Experiment” would fail

The War of 1812 – in which all odds were that America would lose

The Civil War from 1861 – 1865 – where all odds in Europe betting houses that America would collapse

The Depression of 1908 – in which America was supposed to completely fail

The First World War of 1914-1918 (American involvement from 1917) – in which America was unprepared for, and was predicted to lose

The Great Depression – in which America was touted as a total failure

The Second World War of 1939 – 1945 (American involvement from 1941) – in which America was unprepared for, and was predicted to lose

The Korean War

The Cold War

The Cuban Missile Crisis – the brink of Nuclear War

The Vietnam War

Watergate

The collapse of the USSR

The Middle East Wars

The Economic Crisis of 2008 – the brink of Worldwide Economic Catastrophe

And now, our impending fall into a Double-dip Recession and even possible Second Depression

America has pulled through all of these times of crisis – and has not only survived, but thrived.

We are the strongest nation on the face of this Earth – and will continue to be so – long after I am dead and gone.

THAT is America.

But, consider some other points, too.

In drafting our Constitution – upon which most other Democracies have used as a model to draft their own countries’ constitutions – our Founding Fathers made it possible that ONE MAN could never bring down this great Nation.

This is not the case in most other countries.

Within the last 400 years, Europe – in all of its enlightenment – has bestowed upon the World the likes of:

Oliver Cromwell of England

The London Tower – and the DAILY beheadings of political rivals

Napoleon of France – Dictator for Life – and his ruthless conquerings, until he was defeated at Waterloo

The French Revolution – in which daily beheadings were a way of life – at which fine wine and food was served to the spectators frolicking in the streets

Lenin and Stalin of Russia – and the MILLIONS that they killed in the name of Communism

Adolph Hitler of Germany – the leader of the “most advanced” country in Europe – and the murderer of MILLIONS of people in World War Two

Mussolini – and his maniacal dictatorship of one of the most progressive European countries – that gave the World some of its most treasured artifacts known to man

Then we have Mao of China – and his relentless murder of MILLIONS of his own Chinese citizens

Pol Pot of Cambodia- and the Killing Fields

And then we have Africa and the Middle East – along with Central and South America – their petty thieves, murderers, dictators, rapists and common thugs – pretending to be leaders of their people.

I ask all readers, how does America stack up against this?

America gave the World, a workable Constitution that has withstood the multiple tests of time

America gave the World Abraham Lincoln – and the Gettysburg Address

America gave the World a second chance at freedom in World War I – a European War

America gave the World a third chance at freedom in World War II – a European War/Asian War

America gave the World a bailout of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars to help rebuild the World – most of which, has NEVER been paid back.

America, with its Statue of Liberty – Welcomed, and STILL Welcomes, LEGAL ALIENS – to come and live, work and prosper – like no other country has ever done – in the history of the World.

And I am supposed to be pessimistic?

Am I supposed to feel depressed, disgusted, and defeated?

Am I supposed to apologize?

Hell no.

I, for one, say to hell with all the negative thinkers. We have nothing to be sad about. We have only to be happy, proud and positive thinking in our attitude toward the future.

“We will overcome.”

The Strength of America is like no other county in the world.

I still remember my students in Japan and China when they spoke of going to America. Their eyes glistened with dreams – THE AMERICAN DREAM.

There is NO OTHER COUNTRY that can lay claim to an INTERNATIONAL DREAM – such as the American Dream.

“I have a dream.”

When Martin Luther King said these words, he was talking about America. But he was also talking about the hope that America GIVES TO THE WORLD.

Freedom is not a black and white concept. There are no colors when talking about human dignity.

All mankind has an innate desire to be free, to live their lives according to their own free-will, as long as they do not infringe upon the rights of other people.

Our Founding Fathers saw fit to design a Constitution – and a Free Republic – that could NEVER be ruled – or ruined – by one man.

And THIS is one of the strongest points about America.

WE THE PEOPLE hold the ultimate reins of power.

Of course, I realize the cynicism that this kind of talk generates.

I have had to suffer derision from those who do not believe in this view – for the better part of my life. I find it somewhat ironic that the people who disparage America in such vehement tones have never actually survived outside of the United States for any length of time.

But those who were born in other countries – and then traveled to these Great Shores – will testify as to what I am saying as the Truth, the Whole Truth, Nothing But The Truth, so help me GOD.

We, as “natural born Americans” are so damn spoiled, so damn fat and so damn dumb – that all we know how to do anymore is bitch, moan and complain.

We take for granted the light switch on the wall. Two-thirds of homes in the world do not have electricity.

We turn on the faucet and out comes pure, clean water – automatically. And we have HOT water, to boot.

Three-quarters of the world’s population does not have potable water. To this day, 300 Million people in China do not have water that is fit for human consumption. That is approximately the entire population of America.

Yet, we continue to complain, to throw fits, and pout at our position in life.

We go to our refrigerator, open the doors – and presto – it is filled with food. It even has a light. And it is run by an ABUNDANCE of electricity.

Imagine, living in a country like the United States of America, and hearing a child say, “I am NOT hungry.”

Hearing this one sentence, would bring tears to the eyes of destitute mothers and fathers around the Globe.

When was the last time you have thanked God for being born in America?

ANOTHER PREDICTION REVISITED

I must apologize, for I have made reference to this before, but I have learned from very well-informed people, that there is a real political storm brewing – and the Obama White House is doing everything within its power to IGNORE it.

The Mass Media has not ONCE even dared to pose the question – for fear of unmitigated retaliation from a mortally wounded Obama Administration.

Will Hillary finally run?

My answer, as I wrote and predicted months ago, is that she will.

While everybody is going nuts over the “bad blood’ between Perry and Romney – Hillary, along with Bill, and their minions – are quietly assembling a very formidable group to set Hillary Clinton up to challenge President Barack Obama.

And if that actually happens – it will cause turmoil throughout the WORLD.

For the last two years she has been serving with “quiet dignity” as Secretary of State, and has done a remarkable job.

It was Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta who persuaded a reluctant Obama to go “all in” to get Osama bin Laden. The President did not want to commit to such an action – for fear of “upsetting the Muslim world.”

These are words from people I hold in very high esteem – and who have been streaming a lot of information to me, ever since I ran for Congress back in 2004. They continue to keep me informed, of which I am eternally grateful.

They have also told me that Hillary is waiting for the right moment, according to opinion polls, in which she can make a graceful entrance to challenge the President. This is a “very ticklish situation” and if handled correctly, could be the political coup of the 21st Century.

One friend went on to say that, “If she blows it, then all hell could break lose. The Chicago Boys don’t like to be double-crossed.”

It seems that if Hillary could wrest the Democratic nomination away from a sitting president, then this would show “enormous courage in the eyes of a majority of Americans and she would be swept into office in a LANDSLIDE.”

As stated earlier, I already predicted that this would happen in a previous newsletter. But now it seems that it is actually being put into motion. If it comes to fruition is still anybody’s guess.

Imagine what this would mean for the Democratic party. They would be the party to have elected, not only the first BLACK man to be President, but also the first Woman to be President of the United States, as well.

The Democrats have been looking for something like this for over 100 years – to directly counter the oft-repeated phrased that, “The Republicans are the party of Lincoln.” They have been sorely disappointed with Obama – and Hillary just might be the remedy to that dilemma.

I have also been told that the GOP is “shitting their pants” that if she really does enter the race, then they have “no one of Hillary Clinton’s stature that could beat her.”

Sorry for the rough words, but that was a direct quote.

The meaning here is very clear.

As the GOP stands now, they still only have a 50/50 chance of beating Obama – with the present cast of characters. This, even after all the screw ups that this present administration has made, does not bode well if Hillary enters the fray.

If the Republicans don’t get a candidate that can bring in those voters who would otherwise vote for Hillary Clinton – then it is all over but for popping the corks.

I have spoken to many people who have said, “I’d vote for anybody but Obama.” And many times that is directly from people who voted for him the first time around.

Yet, I have also heard a lot of Conservatives venture the same opinion.

However, the GOP still has NOT put forth a candidate that can beat Obama convincingly.

If Hillary Clinton was actually on the ticket, I would venture a guess that most – if not all the people who voted for Obama – would gladly vote for her this time around.

I remember seeing something James Carville, at a Democratic fundraiser posted on the Internet a few months back, saying something that was funny – yet very much to the point – and I quote:

“If Hillary Clinton would give Barack Obama one of her balls – then they would both have TWO.”

It would be menacingly ironic, if the next President of the United States of America were a female – with BALLS.

2. President Obama has a reported $1,000,000,000 war chest for his 2012 reelection campaign. That is BILLION.

3. President Obama has NO CHALLENGER at present – and none in the foreseeable future – within the Democratic Party.

4. President Obama has the support of all Liberals, most Democrats, all unions across the country, all entitlement recipients, the Chicago Political Machine in full force, Rahm Emanuel as the Mayor of Chicago and David Axelrod on the scene to direct his National reelection campaign headquarters out of The Windy City.

5. The President’s approval rating is still between 38 – 40%, depending on which news channel you listen to.

Now for the Republicans:

1. The Republicans are out of the White House.

2. Every Republican candidate has limited funding and every person is burning up an enormous amount of cash on the primary.

3. The Republicans are still in disarray and have no real leader thus far.

4. The Republicans control only the House of Representatives – the Democrats control BOTH the White House and the Senate.

5. None of the presidential candidates on the GOP side have strong support when compared to President Obama.

The Breakdown:

If the economy comes back to 8% unemployment, and gas prices are down to the $3.00 level (as predicted in an earlier newsletter), Obama’s approval rating will go higher. He will claim that, “It just takes time, and we are improving. And don’t forget, I INHERITED this situation. Now I am simply trying to fix it.”

But the REALLY big “Ace in the Hole” for Obama is what happens in the Middle East.

This afternoon, a friend of mine , who I have referred to in previous newsletters, and the most knowledgeable political mind I know, came through Sacramento on his way down to LA for a security conference somewhere in the South Bay area. I had time to talk with him for about an hour as he inhaled his lunch at a local eatery downtown. I try to catch up with him every time he passes through.

“Look, Larry,” he began, “you had better realize what the hell is coming down here. These jerks running the GOP right now actually think Mickey Mouse could beat Obama. They don’t know shit from Shinola.”

He is somewhat of an old-timer and uses that phrase with regularity.

He went on. “If Obama can pull this economy up, even just a little, AND make himself look good in the Middle East, he is going to win in a LANDSLIDE.”

We had little time to go into specifics, but he is definite about one thing; he thinks the GOP are WAY too arrogant to already be counting Obama out.

“When dildos like Dick “the Prick” Morris and Karl “The Draft Dodger” Rove make idiotic pronouncements that ANYBODY could beat Obama, they are showing just how dumb they really are.”

I have known this man for a very long time. He has forgotten more about politics than I will ever learn. His insight is about the best I have ever encountered. And he is usually right – sometimes frighteningly so.

The reason for me going into this is because Obama – and his thug organization – is not to be trifled with. But saying that, Obama is not the REAL problem. The people who voted for him are the culprits in this scenario. And if they believed Obama’s first round of lies – then they are overly eager to believe his second round of obfuscation.

As my friend drove off, I recalled a conversation that I had yesterday afternoon.

I was talking with Steve, another good friend of mine at our first ever Estate Sale in Sacramento, and he said something very interesting. He told me that he was with a couple of Liberal friends of his a few nights ago and they were declaring that they would be voting for Obama – again.

Steve pointed out to them that he voted for George Bush for his first term – but not his second because he disagreed with just about everything that Bush had done in his first four years. Then he added, “And that is the difference between Conservatives and Liberals. If a Conservative gets angry at their leader, they will vote him out of office.”

He finished by saying, “But if a Liberal gets angry with their leader they WILL NOT vote him out of office because of their blind, stupid pride.”

Steve had a very good point that I had not really considered – Liberals will vote again for Obama, to justify their FIRST vote for him. Liberals love nothing better than to say, “See, I told you so.”

Even if they are completely wrong – they will declare themselves right – because they “just know.”

So, when you throw this into the mix you have a hardcore group of Liberals who will vote for President Obama again – NO MATTER WHAT.

Please remember, the Tea Party is NOT a movement organized by Liberals. It is always the Conservatives that hold their candidates to their word – or get rid of them.

The Liberals do just the opposite. They put up with mounds of bullshit – and still try to “reason away” every logical argument that is presented to them.

President Obama is on VERY sound footing to win a second term.

And, if things turn out well in the Middle East, President Obama will be the first to congratulate himself for leading NATO Forces to victory – from the rear.

And the dumb American public will eat it up like a child chomping away at a Snicker’s Bar on Halloween night.

By the way, Steve did NOT vote for Obama.

PERRY, PALIN AND PAUL

If anybody in their right mind thinks that Rick Perry, Sarah Palin or Paul Ryan can beat Obama, then I give up.

The GOP has completely blown it when it comes to picking somebody out of “the shadows.”

You cannot have leadership with out a leader. It is like an ocean vessel without a captain.

The other thing that my friend mentioned before leaving was that he has word that there is very serious “soundings around the Beltway” that a Third Party is quietly being formed – but he doesn’t have all the details yet.

He said that there are a number of players in the mix, but the best he can tell is that Ron – and Rand Paul, Sarah Palin – and DONALD TRUMP are considering this alternative.

If this ever happens, Obama would be a shoo-in.

I asked why they would even consider a Third Party as an option. What he said startled me – but in a way made perfect sense.

“The feeling is that now is the time to make a clean break with the GOP – if they go with Mitt Romney – and form a Third Party. possibly calling itself the American Conservative Party.

It would be an intentional slap in the face of the GOP, and might set it on the same course as that of the old Whig Party.

“Larry, if the GOP actually goes with Romney, I think this Third Party thing might just happen.”

After saying goodbye, I came home and immediately started writing this American Telegraph.

I have no idea if what he told me will happen. But I do know one thing. I am making a prediction – 16 months out:

If the GOP puts all of us through the circus of a Primary Campaign – and then finally chooses Mitt Romney as its standard bearer – then Obama will be reelected.

And please don’t consider this as “negative thinking.”

It is not wise to confuse negative thinking with the harsh reality of facts.

THE SOLUTION

Up until now, the GOP has been fighting and bickering among themselves ad nauseam.

If they keep it up they will defeat themselves – and hand the Presidency to Obama on the proverbial Silver Platter.

The obvious solution would be to unite NOW behind the best two – and start campaigning from September 1,2011. To hell with the Primary Campaign Mode. Get right to the heart of the matter.

If the GOP waits until next year to pick its Presidential Standard Bearer – it will be too late.

After listening to the GOP Iowa debate – two times – I was amazed at how well the FOX News Network “went to bat” for Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich – and almost completely ignored Herman Cain and especially Ron Paul.

As predicted in earlier newsletters, the GOP has already “designated” Mitt Romney as their “leader of choice.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, if this is the case – and it appears to be – then we, as Americans, had better prepare ourselves for another four years of Obama – and the Chicago Political Mafia.

If the GOP goes with Romney we are headed for disaster.

By the applause of the audience – and the constant reaction in a positive sense – that was HEARD for Ron Paul, and then to have him completely ignored by the “Republican Media” (FOX NEWS), has me smelling a HUGE rat.

Furthermore, the fact that NONE of the other candidates even hurled a speck of sand in the direction of Mitt Romney signals that the FIX IS IN.

Even though, Bachmann won the “straw poll” and Ron Paul came in a very close second place, that really does not matter.

All the debates are a set-up. A total farce.

Ron Paul spoke in such simple – and truthful – terms, that he was almost frightening. His stance on Iran is honesty to a fault.

The Military/Industrial Complex is AFRAID of Ron Paul. If Iran DOES get the Bomb – then Iran would be watched like a hawk – and completely annihilated the moment it makes even a cursory move toward Israel.

Why?

Because the WHOLE WORLD would now KNOW that Iran has the Bomb. There would be no reason to SUSPECT anything – like we did in Iraq.

The world would POSITIVELY KNOW Iran had nuclear weapons – and if they even looked cross-eyed at Israel – they would be wiped off the face of the earth.

Ron Paul said as much – if you read between the lines.

But if we keep our forces in the Middle East, continue building up pressure on Iran, and stirring up trouble throughout the Middle East (as my political mentor keeps saying) then the Military/Industrial Complex could not be happier.

Ron Paul is not good for the Military/Industrial Complex – and is therefore being completely shunned by the GOP.

Others seem to think that Ron Paul is an Isolationist. Nothing could be further from reality.

He KNOWS that America is the leader of the world. But he also realizes that we don’t belong in over 150 countries around the globe. That is the approximate number of military operational “outposts” that we have at present.

And we are now engaged in at least FOUR wars.

Is it any wonder that our “infrastructure” is going to hell, our “public education system” the laughing stock of the world, and our REAL National Security now lower than it has been in 50 years?

Ron Paul is still, to his amazing credit, trying to wake up America.

The sad part about this whole scenario is – the American Public, in tow with the Government-controlled Media – keeps pushing the SNOOZE BUTTON.

Rick Perry is generating a lot of “hype” and is touted to be the “instant front-runner” in the GOP race.

But I hope the GOP, and its constant bowing to the Evangelical Element, does not – once again – get side-tracked, and in the process lose the combined support of Independent, Libertarian and Moderate voters – without which, Obama gets re-elected.

THE CREEP

As predicted, in earlier newsletters, the Creep of Abortion and Gay Rights is slowly coming to the fore.

As happened before, the Evangelical Element (albeit ever so quietly this time) is creeping into the position of power.

Let me state – FOR THE RECORD:

There is NO SUCH THING AS SOCIAL ISSUES.

Every “issue” in politics is a SOCIAL ISSUE.

The Economy – a social issue

The Unemployment Rate – a social issue

Our Borders – a social issue

National Security – a social issue

The Wars of America – a very definite social issue

I could go on, but you get the point.

The concept of “Social Issues” is a veiled attempt to group Abortion, Civil Unions, and Homosexual Rights into a “group” all their own.

This is another attempt by the Politically Correct Liberal Media to “lure” the Republican Party – and, believe me, the other night, during the debate, they ALL took that bait – hook, line and STINKER.

Why does not ONE candidate say exactly what I have just stated above?

ALL “issues” are social issues.

“If you don’t think for yourself – others will do your thinking for you.”

One of my favorite lines during my campaign in 2004, when I was constantly being asked by insipid Evangelicals, about Homosexual “Marriage” went something like this:

Evangelical: “What’s your position on Homosexual Marriage.”

Me: “I am against Homosexual Marriage. But it is a personal choice, not a Governmental Decree.”

Evangelical: “And why is that?”

Me: “Because, for the Government to get to your bedroom – it first has to go though your LIVING ROOM.”

That retort usually ended any further debate on the subject.

If the GOP is STUPID enough to get sucked into this debate again, then start chanting:

“OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA.”

I warned everybody in 2004 what would happen. No one listened.

And look where we are now.

ALL ISSUES ARE SOCIAL ISSUES. WAKE UP!

AMERICA’S UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT PLAN

You didn’t hear about this one, did you.

In a nutshell, if the “committee” that is being formed to decide on fiscal cuts for our Country by a certain specified time, November/December, doesn’t come forth with a plan, then 500 BILLION dollars will be arbitrarily cut from our Standard Military Forces – either through retirement benefits, medical benefits, or disability benefits being cut back. Also, our Basic National Defense spending could be put into direct jeopardy.

I predict that the “committee” will get bogged down, no viable choices will be made – and then we have another fiscal crisis – which will, in turn, develop into a National Security Debate Crisis – by the end of this year.

The Democrats have ALWAYS wanted to cut our Military Capability.

America was totally unprepared for World War I, under Woodrow Wilson who, by the way, campaigned on the promise of, “Not one American Boy shall fight in any European War.” In the ensuing war, thousands of American men died needlessly – because we were not prepared for war.

After victory in WWI was finally achieved, America downsized its Military and slipped into isolation.

Then came WWII, in 1939, when Germany invaded Poland – and only a short time after everybody was trying to appease Hitler.

Please remember, Hitler invaded Poland right on the heels of him signing a peace treaty with that country.

Then came WWII for America – Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.

America was totally unprepared for war, again under FDR, a Democrat – and consequently lost every major battle on land and sea for the next 18 months – at the cost of thousands more American lives.

When America gets to November/December of this year, and an agreement IS NOT reached, then it will be time to cut our United States Military Defense Capability.

Please don’t confuse the traditional American Military with that of the Military/Industrial Complex. They are completely different animals.

Try to put this whole concept of continuous warfare into perspective.

WE, the greatest military power on the planet, has been at war in Afghanistan, fighting the Taliban for 10 YEARS.

Yet, the Taliban has no Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines. How can that be? The “war” should have been over long ago.

But, through cunning deception, the Military/Industrial Complex has been purposely prolonging the war – to keep the supplies and gadgetry flowing. Simply put, prolonged continuous fighting benefits no one – except the Military/Industrial Complex – and their complicit politicians who sup at the trough of Lobbyist Campaign Donations.

THIS is precisely what General Eisenhower was always railing against during World War II. And this is what he warned us against over 60 years ago.

Generals fight to WIN. The Military/Industrial Complex fighst to PROLONG. It is as simple as that.

Yet, we are now on the threshold of deeply cutting ALL our Military Defense Capabilities – just as China launches its first Aircraft Carrier, is building up both its ground, and Naval forces, while at the same time increasing the size of its Air Force.

As we piddle away valuable time, pretending to be solving our financial debt crisis, we are witnessing the unilateral disarmament of America, right before our eyes.

As stated in my last newsletter – the Democrats won the “debt debate” – NOT the Republicans.

And if nothing is done by the end of THIS year – then they will have won another victory – by finally getting their long-held desire to completely disarm this Country yet again – in the name of peace.

“To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving the peace.”

This is a Special Edition of The American Telegraph, for everybody that is still in the Stock Market. And also, a few other points.

The Tel Aviv Market had to be shut down today – Sunday – because it almost crashed, dropping nearly 7% right off the bat.

I am still in the American Stock Market – although I sold a lot of stuff earlier in the week (pure luck, no inside information).

But, “after all, tomorrow is another day,” to quote Scarlett O’hara in Gone With The Wind.

I have just heard that individual investors were “bailing out in droves” – while institutional investors were snapping up “bargains galore.”

So, as a quick idea to those individual investors out there: Hold your positions and don’t panic. Apparently, a lot of institutions were well-aware that the downgrade was coming – WEEKS before it happened – regardless of the “debt-ceiling crisis” comedy we just went through.

To me, that sounds like a real set-up by the “Big Boys” to screw the “Little Guy” when he sells into a panic.

Hold fast – and don’t run.

Funny world we live in.

THE MIDDLE EAST – AND BEYOND

I have hit on this subject in the recent past, so I will not belabor it on this beautiful Sunday morning.

All I can say is, I write with near tears in my eyes, for the Soldiers that died in the downing of a helicopter in Afghanistan. At least 30 were killed in this most recent disaster.

As I write, there is now intense fighting going on in Afghanistan – and it is predicted to get worse.

I have also been told that the Saud Family jet is on “stand-by for evacuation if revolution erupts in Saudi Arabia.”

Syria is now teetering on total disintegration.

Iran is being secretly targeted by the United States.

Israel is now conducting ultra-secret practice missions – in case all-out war is declared in the Middle East.

What insane idiot EVER tells his enemy when he is going to quit fighting and go home?

This is PRECISELY what happens when you “drawdown” troops – and ANNOUNCE your departure date – to your enemy at the same time.

Don’t misunderstand what I am saying here. I have NEVER been in favor of either of the Iraq Wars – nor the invasion of Afghanistan. But when America does send in our Military Men and Women – it is IMPERATIVE that WE THE PEOPLE give them the best backing possible.

Remember – the bottom line is – they are fighting for US.

The more I observe President Obama – and his “advisors” – the more I am convinced that this so-called president does not have a clue as to what is going on – neither on the battlefield nor the economic front.

“Only an asshole leads from the rear.”

If you have not already read what the COMMUNIST CHINESE said about America – and Obama in particular – then go on-line and check it out for yourselves.

Barack Hussein Obama is a TOTAL AND COMPLETE DISASTER.

This is an URGENT request to all readers of THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.

Whoever is nominated by the GOP – PLEASE go down to their election headquarters, in your neighborhood, and ask this one, simple question:

“How can I help?”

THAT is all it takes to get involved.

Put aside your “social values” and your “petty hatred” toward any certain GOP candidate that you might have – and vote this bastard out of the White House.

Barack Obama is a National Disgrace – and an International Embarrassment.

If every person reading this Special Edition takes personal action – then Obama can be beat.

If you decline to do this, then YOU are to blame if Barack Obama is re-elected. No one else.

GET INVOLVED. The 2012 Presidential Election is the most important election of our lifetime.

If WE THE PEOPLE are to save the United States of America – NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT.

I have had a few people asking if I am getting tired of being right, all the time, with my predictions. Quite frankly, I am not right on every call – but I am getting closer and closer to it as we move forward.

As you might remember, I predicted that both the Republicans and Democrats would carry the “Debt-Ceiling CRISIS” to the 11th hour – and that is exactly what they did. Then, I said they would all get together and PASS the damn thing once all the dancing was over. Right again.

In all honesty, I wish I had been wrong on both counts. I actually wish most ALL my predictions would turn out wrong – then we would be in great shape. As it is, we have been royally screwed – and it took the same scenario to accomplish another Economic Reaming by the SAME Status Quo.

Look at what has happened. They predicted an Economic Armageddon – the FEAR thing again – if the emergency budget did not pass. So the spineless Republicans – along with the equally ethically-challenged Democrats – voted for the bill’s passage.

Obama could not wait to sign it into law. He knew it was his victory – so he could run without an economic debate clouding his 2012 campaign. Let nobody fool you – Obama WON the “credit ceiling” debate – hands down.

I was against this farce from the beginning – but it passed anyway. They said the Market would crash if it was not passed. It passed. The Market has now dropped another 500 points just today.

It is akin to the old phrase – another fear tactic used by the Democrats – that went something like this back in 1964:

“If you vote for Goldwater, we will surely be in a war in Vietnam. Well, I voted for Goldwater – and damned if they weren’t right.”

So where do we stand now? To put it bluntly, the Congress – in conjunction with the White House – has defalcated not only our futures – but that of the entire Country – and perhaps even the World.

NOW, we find out that Europe is on ANOTHER economic brink of disaster.

Will the “Socially Advanced Europeans” ever learn that you have to – some day – start to work for a living?

We have been ECONOMICALLY RAPED this time around – and Barack Obama is laughing up his sleeve, so much so, that he is throwing a $30,000 a plate BIRTHDAY PARTY for himself.

What in HELL’S NAME is going on?

As predicted, Obama pulled a classic “fast one” and is now SECURELY IN LINE for re-election in 2012.

No matter what Dick Morris, or the embarrassingly inept Karl Rove try to tell us – the United States of America is headed for a SECOND TERM of Barack Obama.

AND THE NAIVE, DUMB AMERICANS SLEEP ON AND ON

We have now – through the passage of this debt-ceiling – one of which many REPUBLICANS PROMISED to vote against – a staggering 4.5 TRILLION DOLLARS MORE in debt, coming down the proverbial pike.

Are we all just simply so damn DUMB that no one sees what is happening – both economically and SOCIALLY to this, once proud and great, Country of ours?

How much stupider, as a collective whole (hole), can we actually get?

I keep encouraging readers to think positive – but when dealing with total assholes who are only in it for themselves – thinking in a positive light becomes very difficult indeed.

Yet, with a positive frame of reference to the ever-present “silver lining” I see only ONE hope left for America.

And if we blow it this time – there will be no turning back. We will be ruined – FOREVER!

OUR LAST HOPE: RON PAUL AS THE GOP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION

I know this sounds stupid – but it is not.

Ron Paul is the ONLY one who has been telling ALL OF US – for years – that this was coming. Sure he might sound a little shrill at times – but he has a REASON to be that way.

HE IS TRYING TO SUPPRESS THE URGE TO SCREAM!

Ron Paul has been in Congress for almost 30 years – and has been telling the truth for as long as I can remember.

Ron Paul has NEVER HAD A SCANDAL in his entire life. He is a doctor, a well-respected TRUE REPRESENTATIVE of his district – and his constituency LOVE HIM.

He was against the war in Iraq. He was right.

He was against the war in Afghanistan. He was right.

He has told us that the “debt-ceiling crisis” was a TOTAL SHAM. And he was right.

He has warned us against the FED – as Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln did. And he was right.

He has warned us against the IRS. And he was right.

Ron Paul is the ONLY GOP Candidate that could actually get the WHOLE COUNTRY behind him.

But I fear that the GOP is STILL TOO DUMB to see clearly on this issue.

The GOP is too blind, too old, and too decrepit to even begin to figure this one out.

And the RNC is even further behind in their thinking ability with Reinhold Reince Priebus (talk about the blind leading the righteously blind) at the helm. The guy will usher the GOP right into a brick wall known as the CHICAGO POLITICAL MACHINE – and they will never know what hit them.

If the GOP would nominate Ron Paul as their TRUE SPOKESMAN, the Republicans could beat Obama decisively in 2012.

But – and here is another prediction that I hope never comes true – I fear that Ron Paul will get so frustrated with the direction of the Country, that he will opt for a Third Party Candidacy – which would GUARANTEE Obama a second term in office.

Ron Paul must never run as a Third Party Candidate.

Ron Paul MUST be the GOP Candidate for President of the United States. If not, to put it simply – the Country is sunk.

Ron Paul, along with his son, Rand Paul, could work wonders for America. The two of them are TRUE INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVES – who could unite the country like no other GOP candidate could ever do.

The only “rap” on Ron Paul is that, “He can’t win.”

Well, I say that, if given the blessing of the GOP, he can – and WOULD WIN – in 2012.

But, I predict, the GOP will finally go with Mitt Romney – and the rest will be history.

These are just some of the reasons why I wish so many of my predictions would turn out to be wrong.

The only prediction I would like to see come true is to have the GOP choose Ron Paul as their Republican Candidate.

If so, Ron Paul would be our next President of the Untied States of America.

But the haunting refrain keeps banging in my ears:

“The Arrogance of Ignorance is Appalling.”

THE MUSLIM DILEMMA

As many readers know, I have been critical of those of the Muslim “faith” for not stepping forward to cast out the radicals that infest this so-called “religion of peace.”

Thanks to another reader, I have an extremely powerful presentation that says it better than I ever could.

Please take 15 minutes and listen to the following person speak. It will scare the living daylights out of you.

And remember, he is not a “right-wing bigoted Republican” saying these things. He is a very moderate Muslim, with the courage to speak his mind – and in no uncertain terms.

If you wish to be enlightened, I suggest you view the link below. It is extreme only in the truth that it tells.

I am again indebted, to one of our readers (a Jewish lady) for submitting this information to me. In her subject line she simply said:

Egyptians call for Sharia Law, Islamic caliphate

Sunday, July 31, 2011 | Ryan Jones

Tens, and perhaps hundreds of thousands of Egyptians poured into Cairo’s now-famed Tahrir Square on Friday to demand their nation become subject to Sharia Law and form the cornerstone for a new Islamic caliphate.

The unplanned demonstration erupted following Friday prayers at mosques around the Egyptian capital.

The demonstrators, who were led by the increasingly powerful Muslim Brotherhood, demanded that Egypt’s interim military regime give way to an intolerant Islamic dictatorship.

Various news media reported the demonstrators shouting and holding up signs reading: “Egypt will return to Sharia Law!”, “Liberals and secularists are the enemies of Allah!”, and “The solution is Islam!”

When Egyptians ousted former dictator Hosni Mubarak in February, the international media made much of how conservative Muslims, Coptic Christians and Egyptian secularists worked together for the common goal of democratic freedom.

The prevailing assumption was that Egypt would serve as a model of how a diverse, but tolerant Middle East society could throw off the shackles of dictatorial oppression and build something better.

But Egyptian commentators are now saying that what is happening in their country more closely resembles the Iranian revolution.

In 1979, a broad coalition of Iranians overthrew the dictatorial regime of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The shah was briefly replaced by a secular, democratic government. But Islamists quickly hijacked the revolution, and Iran today is ruled by a religious council and is subject to the strictest interpretation of Sharia Law. This is Shiite, not Sunni.

What is happening in Egypt now “is a lot like Iran, and it’s only going to get worse,” Saeed Rahnema, a pro-democracy demonstrator in Iran in the late 1970s and now a professor at York University in Toronto, told Canada’s The Globe and Mail.

Egypt’s one hope at this point is that the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamist movement currently lacks a charismatic leader like the Iranians had in Ayatollah Khomeini.

But such a figure can rise quickly in this region. And even if he does not, the fear that the Islamists are sowing in their fellow Egyptians is all but guaranteeing that even a democratically elected Egyptian government will be dominated by Muslim fundamentalists.

Meanwhile, tensions between Israel and post-revolution Egypt are again rising after Muslim gunmen bombed the Sinai natural gas pipeline on Saturday, the fifth such attack since Mubarak’s ouster.

The pipeline had already been turned off while work was being done to repair damage from the previous bombing earlier in the month. Israel receives about 40 percent of its natural gas from that pipeline, and having it out of order is setting the stage for an energy cost crisis in the Jewish state.

The latest pipeline attack has reignited the debate over whether or not Israel should continue to purchase natural gas from Egypt, considering that the Jewish state has recently discovered its own massive reserves.

Israel buys natural gas from Egypt as part of the Camp David Accords that brought peace between the two nations. But Israeli energy experts say it can no longer be seen as a reliable source of energy.

Israel’s own offshore gas reserves are actually larger than Egypt’s, and could easily supply the nation’s needs. But making such a switch is certain to put the kind of economic pressure on Egypt that could lead to an outbreak of hostilities.

TALIBAN JUSTICE

Once, you have digested what the two authors have to say, then I urge you to proceed to the following video clip.

BUT ONE CAVEAT before you view this link. If you have never been in combat, or have never actually seen people being killed, I warn you, it will shock you. So be forewarned. If you have a weak stomach, please do not view this video clip.

SHORT STATEMENT ON ISLAM – PRESIDENT OBAMA

If you are in any way whatsoever, even remotely familiar with the Muslim “religion,” you are aware that it has a fundamental edict to KILL those who are not of the Islamic Faith.

Muslims are permitted to lie – in the furtherance of the Islamic “religion.”

President Obama was “exposed” to the Muslim “faith” at a very early age.

President Obama has been proven – time and again – to be a consummate liar.

Barack Obama has stated, on various occasions – along with his wife, their dislike for America.

Both Barack Obama and his wife were DISBARRED as lawyers – for lying.

There has been no definitive proof of Obama being born in America.

Barack Obama attended “Reverand” Wright’s “church” for 20 years – that is 20 years of listening to hatred of America, and the American System as a Nation.

During Obama’s early travels in the Muslim countries that he visited as a very impressionable boy – he saw “first hand” how the “Colonial Powers” treated the oppressed.

These are just a FEW of the unconnected dots. There are many more – too numerous to recount now.

Remember, President Obama could very well be just a “moving piece” (a pawn) in this whole scenario. Once his usefulness is used up, he could possibly be “replaced” (eliminated).

This might be the reason why he is so heavily protected at all times. He might know something that the rest of us can only speculate on.

Up to this point in writing THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH, I have been “very kind” to the President, “too kind” in some readers’ views.

But a scenario was put to me, quite sometime back, that I thought was very intriguing – however, I have not revealed it until now, for reasons that will soon become very obvious.

It goes something like this:

Obama was set into place (Manchurian Candidate) by the World Status Quo. He has no identifying papers, so a GRAND LIE was developed to cover everything that was missing.

The trump card would ALWAYS be race – and racism – when ANYBODY questioned who Barack Obama really was.

Obama would serve at the pleasure of his manipulators. Once he was no longer “useful” he would be assassinated.

The country would go into complete turmoil.

“America killed it’s first ever BLACK President,” would be the rally cry. Race riots would erupt around the country.

Martial Law would be implemented and the Constitution abandoned.

BUT, for the life of me, I can’t figure out what the actual PURPOSE would be – unless it is truly not an economic fiasco that would ensue, but a “RELIGIOUS” UPRISING around the Globe – that would attempt to bring in a Muslim Based Theocracy throughout the world.

You can now understand why I have been hesitant to even relate this scenario in THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH. In all honesty, I can’t quite believe it all myself.

Then again, there is a certain amount of plausibility in it. Remember, we still don’t know why Lincoln was assassinated. And then we have JFK – whose Warren Commission Findings were put under lock and key and fully guarded – to this day – for 99 years.

I have always thought that if something was kept secret – then there is something to hide.

Some day history will reveal who the “real” Barack Hussein Obama actually was.

My apologies for filling your box with yet another American Telegraph, so I will keep this Special Edition short and to the point.

I have spoken, at length, about the military/industrial complex, so I will not belabor the point any further.

However, some people tend to confuse the corrupt, inefficiencies of that unholy alliance – with a very real concept of National Security.

Please do not confuse the two. They are totally different in nature – and substance.

National Security is the most important concept of any nation/state. Without a solid foundation of national security, all other points become moot.

I referred to my friend that I picked up at Sacramento Airport recently in my last edition. He mentioned Egypt falling into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood.

He also mentioned that the budget cuts that are now “on the table” will “gut our national security capabilities to the point of NEUTERING the defense capabilities of the United States.”

According to him, the Navy is being gutted – just when China is building up its TOTAL Navy. Apparently, they have more ships than we do. I find this hard to believe, even from him, but that is what he was saying when we last spoke.

Also, the Army and Marines are using equipment that is over 25 years old. And again, according to him, the jets that the US Air Force is using are over 30 YEARS old.

Now, just this morning, the United States has PUBLICLY DECLARED Iran to be aiding and abetting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

While everybody has been worried about the bogus “Debt-Ceiling Crisis” our National Defense capabilities have slipped to the point where America is in a very precarious point, with regard to being able to defend itself in time of all-out war.

THE MISUNDERSTANDING

I think I have finally figured out the problem – thanks again, to my friend’s insight and experience.

He has ALWAYS been against the concept of “Mercenaries” – his word for private security forces.

He is a very staunch supporter of the “Legitimate Military Forces” of the United States.

Suddenly, it all made sense. Eisenhower was NOT talking about our National Defense capabilities when he referred to the mounting threat of a MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL Complex. I often wondered how a 5-Star General could be worried about the US Military getting too big.

Simply put, Eisenhower was not referring to the “Regular Forces” – but to the “Secret Forces” of “Contracted Security Agencies” that get (paper) money from the United States Government – and then left to their own devices.

Before, I thought President Eisenhower meant the US Military. But, apparently that was not the case at all.

What he was warning against was the “Uncontrolled Shadow Military Contract Forces” that are now all over the Middle East – and apparently around the world, too.

My friend has told me that they (the Security Forces personnel) are a “real piece of work.” He states that they are a bunch of “wanna be Rambos with a little dick complex.” His words, not mine.

According to him, they just “do what they want to do” and are responsible to no one – and in the process, give the legitimate US Forces a bad name.

When I asked how this all came about he said that since we now have an all-volunteer Military, that there are simply not enough people to do the job – so they hire out to these Special Contract Security Forces.

Apparently, some people on Capitol Hill are finally catching on to what is actually happening. These forces are overtly misappropriating American Tax dollars to fund their own operations – and also to line their own pockets while they are at it. Drug money is rumored to be in the mix. Afghanistan is the biggest producer of Opium in the world.

THIS is what Eisenhower was warning us all about. And it has now come to fruition.

As I pointed out earlier, while we were all watching the staged distraction of the “Debt-Ceiling Crisis,” of which I predicted that they would wait until “the 11th hour” to get a deal done, the Middle East was boiling over. But few were paying any attention.

This is a very alarming development indeed. And if we are not careful, we might find ourselves in yet ANOTHER war in the Middle East – this time coming to the aid of Israel – if Iran is indeed targeted by the Obama Administration.

If President Obama keeps losing his political support, I would not be surprised if he made a case of NATIONAL SECURITY and decided to attack Iran – just before the 2012 presidential election.

It would not be the first time that a leader of a country decided to start a war for his own political advantage.

There might even be a call to reinstate the draft. And if that happens – then you will REALLY see people get motivated.

Libya and Syria are on fire as I write.

THE FED – AND THE FIAT MONEY MACHINE

I hadn’t intended to broach this subject in this Special Edition but it seems to tie in directly with the above material.

This too, will be kept intentionally short and to the point.

A reader sent me a very good video, which I watched and then lost, which showed how – with a gold standard – wars can only be financed until the gold runs out. Gold is a finite commodity.

But with fiat money – paper money – you can print as much as you want, and finance wars indefinitely.

This, in a nutshell, was one of the underlying concepts of getting off the Gold Standard in the first place.

Remember, the Louisiana Purchase was made precisely because Napoleon needed GOLD to finance his wars abroad. He had NO fiat reserve of endless paper money. He needed cold, hard – GOLD.

“If the FED needs money, and Congress refuses to appropriate money, as designated, then the FED can go ahead and print the money it wants.” This quote came from none other than Henry Paulson – past head of Goldman Sachs and past FED Chairman.

Is this starting to make any sense whatsoever?

We are not nearly as free as we pretend to be.

FROM A VERY INFORMED READER

I am continually indebted to my friends and readers for the information and articles that they pass on to me. Without all their help – and timely input – I simply could not keep the American Telegraph going. I thank you all for your continued help and support.

Below, is a perfect example of what I mean. In the reader’s own words, please check out what she sent me a few days ago:

Next question is about the Fed. Congress created them, and we should repeal the Glass-Owen Act of 1913, because their plan from the beginning was to destroy America by taking control of the country’s funds, and without any money (reserves) of their own nor any risk, they have passed over 100 amendments to the original bill, each one lucrative for the big banks, but detrimental to the populace. Why haven’t the American people signed petitions and force Congress to abolish the “so called” Fed Reserve? They have realized obscene profits; that’s why they want America to bail out foreign countries and banks and borrow more and more money to bring us to the point where we are now. I can’t see a way out with things remaining status quo. I sent you the article that showed how the Fed bailed out banks in Europe without the approval of Congress or the President. That means they went above the law. Please share the link below with your readers.

Nor do I use the mundane phrases that the Mind Police force on a dumbed-down populace, via the Monopoly Media.

“What part of NO don’t you understand?”

“Dude.”

“Cool.”

Cliched words lead to cliched thinking.

And that is where we are now.

Congress is going to wait until “the 11th hour” to “kick the can down the road.”

When I hear people talk in such a vein, I immediately shut them off.

As I do when I see “parents” who tell their children, “Now KIRSTEN, do you want a time out?”

Is parenting now a baseball game? Time out? What the hell does that mean?

“I’m telling you JASON, now I am counting, One, Two, Three, Four – Four and a half, Four and three quarters . . . .”

No wonder kids nowadays think their parents are fruitcakes. And, for the most part, they are right.

Where am I going with this? Right to the point, that’s where.

We are now run by a majority of idiots.

Let me put it this way.

As I predicted, QE 3 is on the way.

As I predicted, Libya is getting worse – and Gadaffi stays.

As I predicted, We are IN a double-dip recession. In reality, it is still the same one.

As I predicted, Japan is on the road to recovery – faster than Katrina.

As I predicted, Iraq – according to a “just released” paper – is now “more dangerous” than ever.

And, as I predicted, it is all BUSH’S FAULT!

We are now back to the cliched thinking problem.

Americans are simply not paying attention.

This “Debt-ceiling Crisis” is pure distraction. It WILL be taken care of – when they are damn good and ready.

And I predict that the Democrats will take ALL the credit – and the Republicans will get all the blame. The GOP has become that stupid.

But the deception has not quite played itself out yet – as I also predicted.

Ladies and Gentlemen. PLEASE don’t think I spend all my time watching political developments. I don’t. It is just that I know what I see. And what I see is a PERFECT GAME of, “One, Two, Three, Four, Four and a half . . . .”

We now have one – maybe two – generations of grown CHILDREN running this country. And no one even seems to notice.

GRANDPARENTS – AND GRAND “CHILDREN”

If there are any Grandparents out their, then this next section will be very easy to understand.

I have three Grandchildren. Yes, I capitalize the two words on purpose. I realize it is not “correct” but I don’t care.

So let’s think for a moment.

If it were not for Grandparents – there would not be any Grandchildren. And hence, no Parents.

Does that make sense?

What I am getting at is simply this.

When I was a young boy, if I lied – and got caught – my little ass was paddled until I could not sit down. I learned, at an earlier age that, if you lie – and get caught – you pay a price.

There was no time out. I was not sent to my room. A punishment was administered – and I learned a lesson, every time I screwed up.

My mother used to wash my mouth out with Ivory Soap when I said a “cuss word.” I never cussed again until I got into the Army. Then I discovered that ever other word was “Fuck” so I picked up that habit – and I still use that F-word today.

See, how subtle cliched thinking can be? The “F-word.” What the fuck!

It is all designed to make EVERYBODY THINK THE SAME WAY.

And when everybody is thinking the same way – NOBODY IS THINKING AT ALL.

I hope I am making some sense here.

And does CAPITAL LETTERS now mean that I am yelling? No, it simply means that I am trying to put emphasis on a certain word, phrase or thought.

Am I “venting?” No, I am stating an opinion – but doing so is now considered “venting” – a very convenient way to portray the “speaker” as “blowing off steam” or “emotionally imbalanced” or just plain nuts.

Do you see how FREE SPEECH is being totally subverted?

We are now AFRAID of using CAPITAL LETTERS – for fear of OFFENDING SOMEBODY. Capital letters means you are YELLING. Who the hell made up that rule? And why do so many people follow it – without question?

How stupid is that line of thinking?

But everybody is thinking that way – so, in reality, no one is thinking at all.

And that is the point of this edition of The American Telegraph.

Nobody is thinking about what is REALLY going on.

The Middle East is ready to explode. We now have EXTREMISTS on both sides of the political spectrum.

Nobody is even thinking about this.

BUT, everybody IS thinking about their SOCIAL SECURITY check for next month. I am not worried. It WILL come.

Yet, no one is even considering our position in the World of 2011.

I just had a very good friend return from a trip to China. He told me that EVERY Chinese person he spoke with thought President Obama was a complete imbecile. And the Communist government is not telling them to think that way. They have their own information outlets, and make their own decisions on how they now think.

In China, Obama is considered a dunce. India considers him a “non-leader.” England – one of our most staunchest of allies – regard our own PRESIDENT in such low regard – that he was EXCLUDED from the biggest wedding, so far, of this CENTURY. Canada sniffs, when President Obama’s name is mentioned, Australia laughs – and the whole Middle East gives the United States the finger.

And, as a side note, I picked up my friend at Sacramento Airport last night, the one who has been my political “mentor” since my Congressional run, and gave him a ride to the Capitol Building downtown. On the way there he told me one thing that blew me away – and in no uncertain terms – that Egypt “is getting ready to fall to the Muslim Brotherhood sometime this year.” Every one of his predictions have come true, so far.

And, we all watch as Congress, “Kicks the can down the road.”

THE LIE

Grandchildren lie. And nowadays they get away with it – completely. Spank them and you are “abusing them.”

Give that concept a little thought. The GOVERNEMENT can LEGALLY take children away from their parents if they DISCIPLINE their own child.

Does that concept not scare anybody else but me?

Spanking is one thing. Beating is something else entirely.

In my humble opinion, if a parent refuses to spank a child when he has done something wrong – then that action is CHILD ABUSE.

For a rightfully unpunished child – will grow into a deceitful adult.

And that, my friends is where we are today.

We have a “crowd” now in BOTH houses of Congress – and the White House in particular – that lie and deceive at EVERY point.

“You lie!” was belted out – in Congress – while the President was LYING – and poor old Joe Wilson was FORCED to apologize – for TELLING THE TRUTH.

What the fuck is going on around here? No wonder the whole Nation is going in circles.

No one is willing to tell the truth for fear of being called a liar.

Franz Kafka is smiling from his grave.

SO, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

This past week, I was visiting again with my good friend, Steve, and he told me a great line.

His son had been talking with a friend about Obama, and apparently his friend accused Steve’s son of being a RACIST because he did not like President Obama.

Steve, beaming with pride, then told me his son’s classic reply:

“Hey, look. I don’t like his black half – OR his white half.”

Thanks, Steve!

And that is what I am trying to get at.

Don’t be AFRAID to go against the grain. When somebody lies – call them on it.

I remember at a dinner function awhile back, where James Carville was attending, when he was lamenting about the lack of courage of President Obama, to wit:

“I wish Hillary Clinton would give him one of her balls – then they both would have TWO!”

This YouTube clip was up for awhile – but has since been taken down.

Why?

Because Carville – like Joe Wilson – told the truth.

Colin Powell once said, “If you want to piss somebody off, tell them the truth.”

If we are to EVER get back to a Sane America again, we are going to have to start calling them liars – to their faces – when we catch them “stretching the truth.”

And the only way you can do that is to find out when your “representative” is in town, go to public meetings, listen – and stand up and yell, “YOU ARE LYING!”

FUNNY STORY

When I was running for Congress in 2004, I attended a Bellingham City Council meeting. When I finally got to the microphone, I started to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

The Mayor got excited – and had my microphone TURNED OFF. But I kept on talking, finished my point and then went back to my seat – to a silent and stunned auditorium.

But in the interim of my speaking, I turned around for support from my “friends” sitting directly behind me in the FRONT ROW – only to find them all too busy looking down at their shoes – pretending like they did not even know me. This is after they voiced “hushed opinions” that I was speaking directly to.

The cowardice of the American People is palpable.

WE THE PEOPLE cannot blame the Government. That is just like a Grandson blaming somebody else for something he was guilty of doing.

It is NOT the Government’s fault. It is not Bush’s fault.

It is OUR fault – for allowing the Government to get so big that WE THE PEOPLE are now scared shitless – not only of “our” Government – but of each other.

And that is where the Government Education Scam, the Government Controlled Media, the Government Entitlement System, and the Government Sponsored Politically Correct Thinking has led this Country to.

MY CHALLENGE TO ALL THE BITCHERS AND MOANERS

So here is my challenge to everybody who has NEVER run for elected political office.

Get off your lazy ass, go to meetings, get a few good friends – that you can trust – find out how to run for elected office, and go for it.

No longer be a coward. Quit your constant bitching and moaning. Get involved.

It is only when WE THE PEOPLE actually take up the call that we will ever change America – for the better.

Whether you win or lose – until you run for political office, have the courage to stand up and speak in a Public Forum, take all the bullshit, heartache, pain – and ultimate pride and satisfaction of giving it your best shot for your Country – you have no RIGHT to complain.

I dare those of you who have never done it before to get totally involved.

There is a stupid saying in politics that says:

“Only pick those fights that you know you can win.”

In my opinion, this is the perfect definition of a coward.

I remember the first time I got into a fight, in the third grade, with the schoolyard bully. I was scared, but I kicked his ass. And when I walked away I felt 10 feet tall.

And what about, “The only good Indian is a dead Indian” or “No dogs or Indians allowed.”

Jews, Italians, Germans, EVERYBODY.

I remember when I was young, if you called a black person a nigger, you got your ass kicked. Very simple.

And that is the way it should be. You insult somebody, then take the beating that you deserve.

But let’s quit playing into the hands of the LIBERAL ELITE.

I remember once, in the Army chow line in basic training, one of the redneck white guys (isn’t that racist, too?) called one of the black soldiers behind the counter, “Boy.” The black man serving the food looked at the white guy and replied, “If you see a boy around here, then you had better kick his ass – right now.”

End of conversation.

And that is precisely my point.

The more convoluted it becomes, the more PROFITABLE racism is. Short and sweet doesn’t make it in the capitalistic world of MARKETING RACISM.

The more difficult, the better economics of the situation. Lawyers love “legal” conflicts and have gotten rich off of them for decades.

A “Latino” doesn’t get hired for a job – it is because of racism. Sue somebody.

An “African-American” doesn’t get promoted – go to court on the grounds of RACIAL DISCRIMINATION.

Racism, truly is, big business in America.

JIM CROW

Most students nowadays equate Racism with Conservatives and Republicans.

Little do they realize – precisely because they have NEVER been taught – that the first freed slaves were Republicans – because they wanted to be in the “Party of Lincoln.”

So, what happened?

Southern Democrats freaked out at the prospect of being overrun by the freed blacks. This was a genuine fear.

So the Democrats devised a very clever way of dealing with this “problem.”

The recently freed slaves were just starting out, working like hell to make a life for themselves, fighting in the Civil War, returning to farm their land, raise families – and, for the most part, trying to live dignified, CHRISTIAN lives.

But the Democrats put this question to them.

“Look, if you are a Republican – you will have to work for a living.”

“But, if you are a Democrat, then we will TAKE CARE OF YOU. All you have to do is vote for us and we will give you everything you need – and WANT.”

And the Americans of African Ancestry took the bait. And the Democrats have been “taking care of them ever since.”

CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION

Most younger Americans have no idea who was actually responsible for the passage of the Civil Rights Act, when Johnson was president. Again, they have never been taught this fact. They are told that it was a DEMOCRATIC piece of legislation.

In fact, the SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS wanted nothing to do with it, and President Johnson (much to his credit) had to go to the Republicans to help him pass that legislation. Had the Republicans not backed Johnson – the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would have never become law. Check the Congressional Records. It is there. All you have to do is read it.

I voiced facts, such as these, while in university – and my liberal-minded “professors” went berserk. Yet, through it all I managed to graduate – with honors – even though I had to fight for every earned grade. This was years before GRADE INFLATION was even thought of.

Americans of African Ancestry have been sold a bill of goods – and they have been getting screwed by the Democrats ever since.

Where are the poorest parts of America? In the South.

Where are the poorest of the poor “poor blacks?” In the South: Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana.

Where has the Democratic party traditionally been most powerful? In the South.

Yet, Americans of African Ancestry still don’t get it.

THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN

My Japanese wife once remarked, as we were driving around America on our yearly summer vacation from teaching in Japan that, “You know, in every town we have been through there has been a Chinatown and a lot of Chinese restaurants. But almost no Japan Towns or Japanese restaurants.”

She had a point. From her “Asian” eye, she saw very few Japanese establishments – but noticed all the places of Chinese heritage. I had completely missed this, until she pointed it out to me.

Then I began to take this a step further in my thinking.

In most cities and towns nowadays you can find a Chinatown, a Japan Town, a Korea Town, or Little Saigon. By the way, Chinatown is one word – whereas the other “towns’ are two words. This shows you how prevalent Chinese people are in America and how they have contributed to the building of this great Nation.

“This is a very nice area of town. A lot of Asians live here.”

This was a comment I heard time and again when selling real estate. It also pertained to wealthy Jews and rich white people.

But where are the nice sections of town where Americans of African Ancestry live? To my knowledge there are none. And what about Hispanics? Or is it Latinos, now? The blacks live in black ghettos. The Latinos live in the Barrio. But they are both crime-ridden, ghettos on “the wrong side of town.”

What is going on? Isn’t anybody seeing what is happening?

Black people have been sucker-punched with the “we will take care of you” bullshit that the LIBERAL ELITES keep spewing out of their mouths. But it is a lie. And Latinos are doing the exact same thing.

The Democrats promise to take care of MINORITIES – instead of letting them take care of THEMSELVES.

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him HOW to fish and he FEEDS HIMSELF for a lifetime.”

And therein lies the rub.

Once you teach a man how to fish – he then becomes FREE – to work for himself, to establish a small business, send his children to PRIVATE SCHOOLS (not GOVERNMENT schools), FEED THEMSELVES (not rely on GOVERNMENT food stamps), OWN THEIR HOMES (no more GOVERNMENT welfare projects) – and LIVE IN THE DIGNITY of their own choosing.

These are all Republican principles. OLD Republican Principals. Thus, the Grand OLD Party.

Work for yourself. Get off welfare and be MASTERS of your own fate.

As it stands today, Americans of African Ancestry have traded in their white Southern Masters for their White Democrat MASTERS. And Americans of Hispanic/Latino Ancestry are not all that far behind (although, they have just surpassed blacks on school achievement and “social status” whatever that means).

As long as they keep thinking along these lines, Watts and South Central Los Angeles will exist, not to mention every other black ghetto in America. And then we have the “Hispanic Barrios” and the gangs to deal with.

EPIPHANY – JAPAN STYLE

Why are the GOP candidates not saying these things? Why do they just concede MOST ALL MINORITIES to the Democrats?

Because they are afraid of being called RACIST. Did we not just go full circle here?

As stated earlier, Racism is BIG BUSINESS in America – and it will continue to be that way until Republicans can convince ALL MINORITIES that to work for yourself is eons better than to let someone else TAKE CARE OF YOU.

Ernesto Patriota and I were throwing back a few Asahi Dry Beers the other night (great beer, I might add) when the subject of racism came up. He looked at me and suddenly said with emphatic certainty that, “In a white man’s world everything is racism to minorities like ME. You, being white, cannot understand what I am talking about. You just don’t know what it feels like to be a minority.”

Then I related to him my JAPANESE EPIPHANY.

When I first went to Japan I knew nothing about the country. I thought it was all lotus blossoms, kimonos, rickshaws, polite and friendly people, love, peace and goodwill.

When I confronted the ugly reality of racism in Japan I actually did not know how to react.

I was called “Gaijin” (foreigner) all the time. Little children pointed and taunted me with, “Gaijin, Gaijin.”

I had to renew my “Gaijin” Card at least twice a year. That meant going down to city hall, standing in line for sometimes 10 hours at a stint, just to get PERMISSION to stay in the country. I had to fill out all the same papers, and if I accidently crossed ONE line on the boundary of the application, then I had to fill it out all over again.

I went into certain drinking places and was told to leave. When I asked why, they said only Japanese clientele were allowed inside.

Japanese men would suck air through their teeth when they saw me, and some would yell, “Gaijin Kirai” (I hate foreigners).

At times, when my wife and I were dating, we would would get comments that would have started fights in America.

Many apartment managers refused to rent to me because I was white. In supermarkets, change was thrown at me.

Banks refused to let me open an account in my name. I could not get a credit card. I was summarily refused when trying to buy a house in my name. To get a simple driver’s license I had to get a Japanese National to sign for me.

Pretty soon, it started to wear on me. I got pissed off at everything Japanese. I began to hate the whole country.

But at some point in time, something hit me like a sledgehammer.

For the first time in my life Iwas the victim of racism. Being a white man, from a white country, I had never experienced that before. And it made me mad. I was getting to where I HATED Japan. I was becoming a racist myself.

And that is when I took a long walk in Central Park in downtown, Nagoya. Kids were out playing and families were walking together, laughing and enjoying a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

I had a choice to make. Either I would let racism rule me – or I would rule racism.

I decided to do the latter.

I resolved to make racism work to my advantage. I began gathering more students on my own. I could teach them English better, because I was a white American.

I started to learn the language. I took it upon myself to fight racism with a smile, HARD WORK and total commitment.

I was going to beat the Japanese at their own game.

And I did. I worked harder than any other teacher I knew. I changed my attitude from negative to positive. I began to think – and act – like a different person.

And it worked. And I worked.

I didn’t use the excuse of racism. I established myself as the best teacher in Nagoya. I NEVER missed one day of work in 25 years of teaching. I never called in sick – not once, even when I was – because I did not want to give any Japanese person an excuse to say, “He is a Gaijin. What did you expect?”

And my students loved me. And, in time, I learned to love them.

Klepinger -1. Racism – 0.

And that is the moral of this racism thing.

Racial prejudice is ignorance personified. But it is also an excuse for not succeeding, not trying, not working – not being free.

By working for myself I was able to save more money than I would have ever imagined. I now own three condos, all paid for, and I am completely out of debt to this day.

I didn’t succumb to the CRUTCH OF RACISM. But I damn near did.

After telling Ernesto all of this he grinned, kind of sheepishly, and held up his can of beer and said, “Here’s to you, man.”

Japan was one of the best lessons I ever learned in my life. I am still in total debt to Mr. and Mrs. Aki, the first people to take a chance on me, in allowing me to help open their first English School, in Nagoya, Japan. To this day I am still in contact with them, and consider myself extremely lucky to have them as friends.

And I have many other Japanese friends as well. But none of that would have ever happened if I would have bitten on the rotten fruit of racism. Instead, I would be a bitter old man, full of hatred – and a willing victim of perpetual racial prejudice.

Although Japan has eradicated many of these earlier prejudices, it still has problems to deal with. However, the country has made great strides, and continues to do so.

I am very lucky indeed, to have learned these lessons first-hand. And I have only Japan – and my Japanese friends – to thank for that.

GOP – THEIR APPEAL TO “MINORITIES”

It seems so clear to me that the GOP is missing a HUGE advantage with regard to “minorities” here in America.

There are MANY successful “people of color” (I actually hate that phrase, because we are all PEOPLE OF COLOR) who are Republicans – yet, very quiet about that fact.

The GOP should advertise their concept of people taking care of themselves, working hard – and moving up the so-called social ladder.

Republicans should make every effort to enlist “minorities” of all walks of life – and encourage them to join the Party of Lincoln, to make a renewed commitment to working for themselves – instead of relying on the Government to “take care of them.”

There are a lot of Conservative Americans of African Ancestry that speak to colleges and universities and this is great. But there needs to be more from all “minority” groups. Much more.

And the Republican party should encourage every successful American “minority person” to speak up – and to speak out – on the beauty of working for themselves, striving for a better life, away from the constraints – and regulations – imposed by a Huge Government Bureaucracy – and get on with their lives.

Only then will we finally begin to break this perpetual dependency upon our bloated, slave-like system of Governmental Welfare.

“To be, is to do.”

PREDICTION

With what I have said above, I can’t help but predicting something that I can already see on the horizon.

If Barack Obama is actually defeated in November of 2012, there will be chorus of RACISM throughout the land, directly solely by the purveyors of this lethal disease.

There will be a concerted effort to paint EVERYBODY who voted against Barack Obama as a racist. It will be sweeping and it will be astonishing.

Watch for the “issue” of RACE to slowly come to the forefront of the 2012 Presidential Campaign in the coming months.

Until next time. Keep thinking positive. Hope for Real Change in 2012!

The following two articles are directly copied and pasted from the Internet this morning. The information stayed for about an hour, then disappeared.

This is exactly what my American Telegraph Special Edition was all about a few days ago. For years my friend has been on top of what is going on, with regard to world politics and he hit this one with devastating precision. He continues to amaze me how he can call this stuff BEFORE it happens.

Please read the two articles below VERY carefully:

US recognizes Libyan rebels as Libyan government

By MATTHEW LEE – Associated Press

ISTANBUL (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the Obama administration has decided to formally recognize Libya’s main opposition group as the country’s legitimate government. The move gives foes of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi a major financial and credibility boost.

Clinton announced Friday that Washington accepts the Transitional National Council as the legitimate governing authority of the Libyan people. Diplomatic recognition of the council means that the U.S. will be able to fund the opposition with some of the more than $30 billion in Gahdafi-regime assets that are frozen in American banks.

Clinton made the announcement at an international conference on Libya in Istanbul.

SOURCE: Internet, Associated Press, by Matthew Lee

With regard to this first article, the question arises: If we have $30,000,000,000 in Gahdafi-regime assets, then why don’t we just take the money, infuse it into our national debt “crisis” and help to pay down the debt – instead of raiding Medicare and Social Security?

But, even deeper than that, if read correctly, this article is actually stating that Obama is actively engaging in helping the rebels in what amounts to a civil war. Is this not Nation Building in its purest form?

And did not President Obama promise not to take part in such activities?

This president is a pathological liar of the first degree.

The Second Article:

U.S. drawdown begins in Afghanistan

By Michelle Nichols

KABUL (Reuters) – The first U.S. troops have left Afghanistan as part of President Barack Obama’s planned drawdown of about a third of the 100,000 U.S. forces there during the next year.

Facing growing political opposition to the nearly decade-old war, Obama announced in June the withdrawal plan, which was a faster timetable than the military had recommended.

The first 10,000 troops will come home by the end of the year, but Obama left the details up to his commanders.

U.S. Lt. Col. Wayne Perry, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), said about 650 troops who had completed their rotation in Afghanistan left on Wednesday as scheduled, and would not be replaced.

“As part of the drawdown the first U.S. troops have left Afghanistan,” he said.

The units that left were the Army National Guard’s 1st Squadron, 134th Cavalry Regiment, based in Kabul, and the Army National Guard’s 1st Squadron, 113th Cavalry Regiment, which had been in neighboring Parwan province.

Afghan security forces are to take over security responsibility from foreign forces in seven areas of the country this summer. Afghan forces will then take the lead in securing the entire country by the end of 2014.

Critics have said Obama’s decision to bring troops home from Afghanistan faster than the military recommended could jeopardize the next major push of the war, to unseat insurgents in the east.

The drawdown comes amid intense fighting in Afghanistan, where more than 1,500 U.S. forces have been killed since the war began.

Although extra U.S. troops ordered into southern Afghanistan have made security gains there, the situation in the east of the country bordering Pakistan has deteriorated.

Late last month, insurgents staged a brazen raid on the Kabul Intercontinental Hotel, killing 12 people and raising fresh questions about whether Afghan forces are ready to assume responsibilities as U.S. forces pull out.

NOTE: The bold face and italicized fonts are mine, not that of the authors’.

Please notice that this “withdrawal” will be competed by the END of 2014.

The drawdown comes amid INTENSE FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN in the east of the country BORDERING Pakistan.

And now, there are FRESH QUESTIONS about whether the Afghan forces are ready to assume control after American forces leave.

My Special Edition, of a few days ago, alluded to this coming catastrophe in vivid detail. It outlined exactly what was happening in the total of the Middle East – while Obama plays the clock out with regard to the “credit crisis.”

There is NO CREDIT CRISIS.

There is a MIDDLE EAST CRISIS – and no one is paying any attention to it.

And now, we learn that the Libyan Rebels have already retreated from a stronghold in the face of heavy resistance from Loyalist Forces.

As my friend bluntly told me, Obama has gotten himself into a corner in the Middle East – and he does not have a clue as to what to do.

It is excruciatingly painful to witness how this President, who has NEVER served in the Military, never run a company, nor served in any battle-tested capacity, is simply NOT taking his Generals’ advice, blatantly going against their years of experience of command and control – and then telling them to finish the job.

It is becoming remarkably apparent how inept Barack Obama really is.

You DO NOT withdraw troops when the situation is “deteriorating” and questions are now arising as to how the Afghan Forces are going to fill the void.

Is America ever going to wake up?

My friend also pointed out that Yemen, Syria and Saudi Arabia are also “in play” here – and that Obama does not have an inkling as to what is really happening – thus his all-consuming interest with the “debt crisis.”

I repeat, there is NO debt crisis.

SHADES OF 2008 – JUST BEFORE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Doesn’t anybody even REMEMBER the “Credit Crisis?” The “Housing Crisis?” The “Mortgage Crisis?” The “Too Big To Fail” Crisis?”

Hank Paulson scared the living excreta out of everybody by saying that the World Economy would collapse within 72 hours if WE THE PEOPLE don’t give the Government $800 billion to fix the emergency – and the whole world bought into the scam.

The money disappeared – and no one is the wiser.

Now, Geitner and Bernanke are trying the same tactic AGAIN.

The FIX is in. The scare tactic is on – ONCE AGAIN.

We The People are getting sucked in again.

Or are we? That remains to be seen. If the Republicans cave in on this so-called “debt crisis” then it is all over but the groaning – yet again.

Obama has now made so many mistakes that, for the first time, a GENERIC Republican is “statistically” beating him in all the polls.

This is the chance of a lifetime. A one-shot deal. If the GOP drops the ball on this one, then it is curtains for them – and possibly the Country – with respect to how we live and prosper.

The GOP MUST not let Palin or Bachmann – and certainly NOT Mitt Romney – take the reins of the GOP “leadership” and be the Standard Bearer.

If that happens – we are sunk.

The GOP needs to get behind a person with the stature of Jon Huntsman, Herman Cain, Allen West, John Kasich, Mitch Daniels – Donald Trump – and show some real LEADERSHIP.

We do not need whiners and complainers. But we also DO NOT need a candidate who cannot WIN.

But the GOP seems to be enthralled with themselves. They don’t seem to realize the enormity – and the OPPORTUNITY – that Obama has given them.

Yet, the Republicans still don’t know how to LEAD. Instead, they are following OBAMA’S sucker punches to the hilt.

Donald Trump was PRECISELY CORRECT when he said that Paul Ryan blew the TOTAL negotiating process by laying all of his cards on the table. That is just plain STUPID.

Obama, on the other hand, let the GOP flop around like a fish out of water – while STEALING the best parts of the Republican proposal – and claiming it as his own.

It seems that Obama now embraces tax cuts for businesses – because HE thinks it would help the economy.

Obama now believes that there can be cuts in certain areas of the tax code – because HE thinks it would help the economy.

Obama DREW THE LINE IN THE SAND – because HE has the best interests of the American People, the “teachers, police officers and firefighters” at heart – not to mention the OLD FOLKS, the students who need grants for further education, Social Security pensioners and Medicare receipiants – because HE thinks it would help the economy.

The Monopoly Media is ALREADY reporting the “bill” that the GOP is going to pass in the HOUSE, as being “dead on arrival” and only a political ploy.

Even the inept Karl Rove gave away the farm when he said that the GOP should send this bogus bill to the Senate and let them reject it. He thinks that will put President Obama in a corner.

Karl Rove is categorically wrong. Since when do you tell your opposition what you are going to do – BEFORE you do it?

Wouldn’t it be great if Jon Huntsman (an astute businessman in his own right) and Donald Trump (any questions here about his business prowess?) were to be the ticket for the GOP.

I would bet the WHOLE WORLD would sit up and take notice – and that is not just the business world, but the WHOLE World – especially the “Muddle” East.

And wouldn’t you like to see President Huntsman tell the Chinese Communists to go straight to hell in Mandarin Chinese – and have Donald Trump as a backup?

But, alas, it seems almost a foregone conclusion that Mitt Romney will get the nomination and we will be stuck with four more years of Obama.

THE CALVARY TO THE RESCUE – THE RESURGENCE OF THE “SILENT MAJORITY”

When Richard Nixon made reference to the vast “Silent Majority” of Americans, he was scoffed at and ridiculed for making such an absurd statement.

But when the vote counting was over, they had spoken – and Richard Nixon was President – against the prognostications of most political pundits of the time.

The Democrats were in much the same position as the Republicans are today: Arrogant, bombastic in their denunciation of President Obama, and completely CONVINCED that he will be a one-term President. The Democrats got their asses kicked. And if the Republicans are not careful, they will get theirs handed to them on a silver platter, too.

There is a BIG CHANCE that the Silent Majority will, in reality, rise up and retake control of America.

But it WILL NOT happen with a candidate who cannot WIN the majority of Independents, Moderate Republicans, Moderate Democrats, and Libertarians.

If a “fringe” candidate is put forth by the GOP – one who cannot possibly win – then it will be time for a REAL THIRD PARTY – AND TO HELL WITH THE REPUBLICANS – ONCE AND FOR ALL!

PUBLIC V. PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT

In closing, I am going to step on some very tender toes, and in doing so will probably offend some good friends of mine in the process. But like Colin Powell once said:

“If you really want to piss people off, tell them the truth.”

So here goes.

But one caveat before I begin. I served almost three years in the Army, and worked for the City of San Jose when going to college, so I am well aware of what I am about to say.

There are government WORKERS – and then there are government EMPLOYEES. I would guess that the ratio of workers to employees is about 20% workers to 80% employees.

Most “public servants” went to work for the government NOT to serve, but because of the promise of a GUARANTEED PENSION, GUARANTEED MEDICAL/DENTAL CARE, PLUS OTHER BENEFITS – after retirement.

Some retired government employees are DOUBLE-DIPPING, and a few, that I know personally, are actually TRIPLE-DIPPING.

This means they are receiving retirement benefits from two, and in some cases, THREE government entities. This can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in retirement, perperson – plus FULLY-PAID Medical Benefits. When I say Public Servants I mean all of them, from the lowliest clerk to the President of the United States of America.

Most “public servants” are AFRAID to work on their own, to run a small business, or work for a corporation – for FEAR of failure. It is with this sense of inadequacy that they survive in the “service sector” and toil for years – just for the “tit” of government GUARANTEED retirement.

On the other hand, the private entrepreneur, businessman or company employee works with much less guarantee – while accepting much more RISK. If they succeed, they become very rich. If they fail, they start over. There are no guarantees. There is no “safety net” of government unions covering for them when they do a lousy job. In private enterprise you have two options: Success or Failure.

Government = Red Tape and Regulation

Private Enterprise = Innovation and Risk Taking

And herein lies the concept of what I like to term “Public Sector Jealousy.”

The inherent conflict lies in the fact that the Public Sector is jealous of the Private Sector for having the courage to try and succeed – instead of just trying to survive.

The Public Sector is envious of the fact that the SovereignIndividual has the guts to try to “make it on his own.”

And with that jealousy, inherent in human nature, the public employee is, in fact, secretly EMBARRASSED about the government job that gives him a guaranteed income at retirement – of which the Private Sector PAYS for – in perpetuity.

Consequently, when the Public Sector gets a chance to “smack down” private businesspersons, they are doing it out of a subconscious admission of envy peppered with a large dose of guilt – in the name of “Public Service.” In reality, most Public Servants are nothing more than a Public Nuisance.

If you think I am wrong, then try this little test and see what happens.

When talking to people the topic of “employment” comes up sooner or later.

Public Sector employees tend to be somewhat ashamed to announce boldly, “I am a garbage man, and I work for the City of San Jose.” Or, “I am a secretary and work for the State of California.” Police officers – and even some firefighters – have privately told me that they feel somewhat ashamed when talking to me – because they “know I am paying their retirement pension for them.”

In all honesty, it does not bother me, because I used to be a “Public Servant” myself.

But I opted out, on my own, to go to Japan and work for myself in that country for over a quarter of a century. It was a HUGE risk. Many public service friends, at that time, laughed at me for giving up the security of lifetime employment with the City of San Jose.

They are not laughing anymore. But more to the point, I have lost contact with every one of them, because they have a very hard time knowing that I struck out on my own – and was very successful – while they stayed at the same boring job just for the sake of lacking the courage to “go it alone.”

I believe, that is one of the underlying problems of today regarding the HUGE CHASM between the Public and Private Sectors.

The heros in all the movies – “Dirty Harry” or “Rambo” – or some other guy who has the guts to kick ass and take names, rebel against authority – and tell their Lifetime Security to go straight to hell.

These are the types of people Public Servants really wish to be. But, for the most part, they are as useless as tits on a bore – and they know that their lives are slowly going down the drain – all in the name of a “secure retirement.”

And now that the mistakes of Public Sector Unions are coming to a head the thinking is:

“Hey, wait a minute. You can’t do that. I put in my time. You can’t cut back on my pension now. You can’t make me pay for my own medical expenses. That’s not fair. I want what is coming to me. You PROMISED!”

Welcome to the REAL WORLD of hard knocks. Sooner or later those who actually work – and pay for all of the wages of the Public Sector – are going to finally say enough is enough.

Hopefully, that chicken is FINALLY coming home to roost. It is long overdue. And the Public Sector knows this very well.

I am discovering how lucky I am to have had the “misfortune” of moving to Sacramento, the Capital of California.

Ever since I was a kid, traveling with my parents, Sacramento was a “town” to drive through. But lately, it has proven extremely beneficial as a meeting point for friends on their way to and from Washington, D.C.

Last night was no exception. A close friend of mine – one of a very select few who “coached me” on my Congressional campaign in 2004 – gave me a call in the late afternoon, and wanted to know if we could “meet up for a couple of hours.” Turned out we talked until almost 10:00 P.M.

What he had to relate to me was not at all fun to listen to, but the more he spoke the more it all seemed to fall into place.

But first, as a caveat, my friend is not some “wild-eyed” Conservative wacko. In fact, he is more Libertarian than anything else. He also has put in time with the CIA and acts as an independent consultant to information centers around the United States. In other words, he has his fingers in a lot of things, and has always kept me informed as to “issues of substance.” I am fully indebted to him for his input – and his trust.

The gist of our conversation ran along these lines.

First, he began to lay out the “pattern of deciet” that the Obama administration has been weaving ever since it gained access to the White House. In truth, this was not anything I hadn’t figured out already.

But what started to become clear was the long-range planning of the Obama administration – and how it would go to any length to maintain its power in 2012.

First, the Debt Ceiling. According to him it is complete theater. Obama is going to hold out “until the cows come home” while biding his time. Every second counts in this scenario.

The longer the ploy – the longer the distraction.

My friend told me that, as far as he knows, the debt ceiling WILL be raised. That is a foregone conclusion, somewhere in the 90 percentile range.

What shocked me was the reason why this “diversionary tactic” was even taking place.

Ironically, in my last American Telegraph, I alluded to the nearly 800 BILLION DOLLARS in approved Defense spending. Apparently, when he read that, he decided then and there to give me a call when he passed through Sacramento.

“Look, Larry,” he began. “The Middle East is about to blow wide open – and Obama doesn’t have a clue as to what to do about it.”

Then he began to lay out the complete map.

“You were wrong when you said that we are actually fighting four wars,” he began. “It is actually more like five – and counting.” He moved his chair closer to mine, lowering his voice.

“We are now involved in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, in this so-called Arab Spring bullshit. But that is just the start. We have been bombing Yemen for the last month. That is FOUR countries. We just reneged on our commitment to Pakistan, and we are on the verge of facing a militant Islamic radical government, that has nuclear weapons. That is FIVE countries. Rumor now has it that Obama is secretly planning an attack on Syria. That is SIX. My sources tell me that the long-range goal now is to take on Iran – sometime before the 2012 election. That would make SEVEN!”

By this time my head was swimming. I’ll admit, I had a few beers under my belt, and the weather was hot, but this was getting too serious, too fast.

Then he hit me with a gut shot.

“Do you see what I am saying,” he said in his calm coolness. “We are now heading toward World War Three.”

I damn near chocked. “What are you talking about?”

“Just this,” he said. “Special Forces are being secretly ordered to deploy by July/August to Libya. Other secret deployments are destined to go to Syria, Yemen – and Iran. We have a Navy cruiser in the Black Sea and assult ships off the coast of Syria.”

I still did not understand what he was trying to say.

“Look, Klepinger,” he went on, “Obama is waiting for the right time to launch an all-out attack on Syria, and call it a humanitarian initative – not war. If it is not WAR, he does not need Congressional approval. And if he pulls it off successfully, he will be built up by the media as strong on national security AND acting in the name of HUMANITY. And in this sense, SOLIDIFYING his receiving of the Nobel Peace Prize. Plus, he would have done it on his own – and that is where the rubber meets the road. He gets ALL the credit. If successful, AUTOMATIC REELECTION.

I immediately ordered a double martini, stirring it with my finger as he went on.

“The earlier Libyan action was just a test to see how the American public would react. Much to Obama’s surprise there was little dissension, but he still pulled out, leaving it in the hands of NATO Forces. It was a toe in the water kind of thing.”

All I could do was listen.

“You know, the Defense Secretary is in Iraq right now telling them that if they don’t stop the killing of US Forces, then we would have to RE-DEPLOY back into that country. They wouldn’t send Panetta over there if they didn’t mean business.”

I was starting to squirm in my seat. I did not like what I was hearing.

“And now there is talk about Egypt actually being in the midst of an internal struggle in which the radical Muslims are trying to take charge. If that happens all bets are off for Obama. He is the one who let Egypt go by the wayside. I mean, Obama, has gotten himself into a real mess here. He’s got drones dropping ordnance packages all over the place and a lot of people are getting seriously pissed off.”

He took a quick swig of his beer, then reached for my martini and sloshed that back, too.

“Thanks a lot,” I said. “You bring me all this, then steal my drink to boot.”

His sense of humor has never faltered all the time I have known him. He quickly waved his hand and two more doubles suddenly appeared at our table, three green olives in each glass.

“And now, do you want the real ball-breaker?”

“There’s more?”

“Saudi Arabia.”

“What has Saudi Arabia got to do with this?”

“The Royal Family sees what is coming, and they don’t like it one bit. Since they took over the country, and renamed the damn place after their family, they have treated most of the regular population like dirt. Sure, people have mediocre medical care, but don’t forget, every time one of the Monarchs need real medical attention, they take one of their private jets and fly to Walter Reed and get taken care of. They sure as hell don’t go to an Arab doctor. There are a lot of poor people in that country.”

“So what is Saudi Arabia going to do?”

“They are trying to figure that one out themselves. A lot of people hate those fat bastards, them and their dozens of wives and hundreds of fucking Rolls Royces that they have stashed in underground garages. Their neck is on the line. They saw what Obama did to Egypt. They figure they might be next.”

“But we are supposed to be their ally.”

“Yeah, just like Mubarak was our friend. The whole place is unraveling – and that is why Obama wants to drag this debt thing out as long as he can. If the whole country actually knew what was coming down the line, everybody would shit their pants.”

I looked at my friend, then asked, “So how does Israel fit into all of this?”

He smiled and said, “I was wondering if you were going to ask me that. You haven’t heard much about Israel lately, have you?”

He was right. Almost nothing.

“They are purposely lying low, so as not to piss off anybody right now. If need be, they will always come in on our side, but they have been told to tone it down for the time being. But they are ready – and willing to go at a moment’s notice.

I took a deep breath and held up my hand for him to stop.

“Too much info, huh. But now I got something that you will really get a kick out of.”

ST. MORITZ

My friend raised his glass and said, “You pegged this one awhile back.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The Bilderberg Group. They are meeting in St. Moritz, Switzerland this year.”

“So, what else is new? Every time I write about them I get accused of being some conspiracy jerkoff. I am getting tired of trying to tell people what is going on. No one actually believes me. Besides, I haven’t been following them for a long time. I kind of gave up.”

“Well, think again, my man,” he said with a half-drunk twinkle in his eyes. “This time it is a doozy.”

My friend is in his late-sixties, so “doozy” is part of his vocabulary.

“How so?” I asked, not really all that concerned.

“Well, wouldn’t you like to know who is going to be there?”

“Some old farts with old money trying to find a place to hide it, I suppose.”

“Well, smart ass, suppose again. He popped an olive in his mouth, then continued. “Would you believe that Jeff Bezos and Chris Hughes have been invited to attend?”

“Who is Chris Hughes?”

“One of the founders of Facebook,” he said casually. “So, that is the head of Amazon AND Facebook at the same meeting. Craig Mundie from Microsoft will be there, along with Eric Schmidt from Google. Am I getting through to you yet, big boy?”

He was.

“These guys are the heavies in ALL of the on-line compaines that really matter. They control ALL the INFORMATION that goes to 95% of the people in the world.”

I was squirming again.

“And that is not all. The President of the World Bank, the President of the European Council and a big shot from the European Commission, along with the US Deputy Secretary of State. Plus representatives from the Brookings Institution, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, world bankers, and the top tier of world business leaders.”

“So what?”

“So what!” It was actually the first time I had ever seen him get even the least bit excited. “You had your finger on this one almost a year ago. I thought you were going to follow through, but you dropped the ball.”

“I didn’t drop the ball,” I insisted. “I just couldn’t get anybody to listen to me.”

“Well, you have to say it again. Only this time a lot louder.”

“But what is the point of all this, anyway?”

“The point?” you ask. “This has been the goal, the philosophy – the POINT of the whole Obama administration. A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.”

I wiped beads of sweat from my forehead. After all, it was still pretty warm outside.

“The only problem is, they don’t know what to do with the radical Islamists. You see, they WERE NOT invited to the Hotel Suvretta House.”

“The what?”

“That is where they are all meeting in Switzerland. They are trying to figure out how to maintain their financial hold on Europe, America – and also the Middle East. But the real thing is that they have all the INFORMATION MOGULS there, along with some of the most powerful people in the world. And you haven’t even written about it.”

“Well, I can’t write about everything.”

“That’s true, but you had better bring this up in your next newsletter. Otherwise, I am going to quit wasting my time with you.” Then he laughed and clinked my martini glass.

He went on.

“In all honesty, I hope none of this comes to pass, but people have been telling me that this plan of action by Obama – and those who actually control him – is very much in the mix. I have had this confirmed by at least three other sources. Of course, I don’t know for sure what is going on. But I do know this. All the distractions that have been happening are not by coincidence. The media is purposely ignoring what is actually happening. We could be heading into some really deep shit between now and November 2012 – and the majority of Americans are totally unaware of what potentially could go wrong. They are completely clueless.”

After a few more points of small talk we shook hands and said goodbye. Neither of us are the hugging type.

I promised to put all this into my next American Telegraph, but decided to make this a special edition, for fear of forgetting all the details by the end of the week.

Besides, I have been losing money on a steady basis in the Stock Market, and that has somewhat side-tracked my trend of thinking.

Any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated – either via the blog section or by personal e-mail.

Best wishes to all of you. Sorry for the extra edition, but I wanted to get it out as soon as possible.

In my last newsletter, I stressed the concept of lying, for a reason. WE THE PEOPLE – that means all of us – are being lied to on a daily basis. However, it is up to everyone out there to be able to decipher exactly WHAT the lies are.

From time to time, I have made reference to the MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL Complex, and how it has infiltrated not only our political and social existence – but is now tampering with our very livelihoods.

Remember, when Bush was president, how the deaths of our troops overseas were a nightly occurrence on the evening news. The names AND pictures were shown with the body count for that day of Americans killed in action?

What happened? We are now in FOUR wars and approaching #5 in Yemen. But what about the people who are getting killed on a daily basis? Just last week three more American Troops were killed in Iraq.

Yet, we have been led to believe that there are NO MORE Combat Troops – and therefore, no more combat going on in that country. It is a lie.

Afghanistan is still raging, but we hear NOTHING on the news about this fact. Does anyone realize that since Obama has set a timetable for withdrawal from that country, Iran is now openly funneling new weapons to Iraq and Afghanistan? These new weapons “have already resulted in the deaths of American troops.” – SOURCE: Weekend Edition of the WSJ, July 2-3, 2011 edition, front page.

While the dumbed-down American public mentally bounces between Anthony Weiner, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and the Casey Anthony trial, American soldiers are fighting and STILL dying in four countries in the Middle East – and we simply shrug it off.

We have been successfully dumbed-down to the point of international embarrassment.

And what about the Afghanistan American POWs?

The what? Now I know you don’t believe that one. But it is true. Their names are Ahmed Altaie and Bowe Bergdahl. Never heard of them, right? If not, you had better get your head out of that dark area and wake up.

And now, the Military/Industrial Complex, through its Congressional House members just passed a $726 billion defense budget. Can that number be right? I thought we were all out of money. Where did THAT money come from?

Yet, this MASSIVE expenditure is being touted as heavily cut back and only “basic” to our national defense.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is almost a TRILLION DOLLARS in defense spending – and we are telling everybody when we are leaving the Middle East, and Iran is re-arming their neighbors? What the hell is going on here?

American ignorance is paramount – and getting worse by the second.

Do we NOT see the continuing spiral into more wars in the future. Why not FINISH the war in Afghanistan – and come home VICTORIOUS for a change – instead of leaving the job half-assed, AGAIN?

But that would be TOO EASY. So the wars will continue – and the Military/Industrial Complex will grow even bigger.

IT’S BUSH’S FAULT

This is getting extremely redundant. But this mantra is still being voiced everywhere I go.

I heard this last night – again – when “talking” to a self-proclaimed “Women’s Liberation Liberal” – whatever the hell that is. She stumbled by our table ranting about how America is run by “rich fucking Republicans” and other such proclamations.

So, I asked her, how it was Bush’s fault, that after 2 years of Obama, we are still blaming GW for all the nation’s ills.

This “woman” went on a tirade about all the evils of the world – and how Bush and the RICH Republicans are at fault for everything.

When she stopped for breath, I informed her that there were just as many rich Democrats as there are Republicans. She glared at me and said, “That is not the point!”

When I asked her just what WAS her point, she simply reiterated that, “Bush caused this whole mess.”

After a few more ramblings she moved on to another table, much to the relief of Ernesto Patriota and me. We sometimes venture out together to check the pulse of the neighborhood drinking establishments that are usually inundated with “university students” and government employees.

Ernesto looked at me and simply said, “Pathetic.”

I had to agree, but in a sense I completely understood.

The media has painted it as a Democrat v. Republican, Liberal v. Conservative “thing” – and most people buy into that “divide and conquer” mentality.

I have been accused, time and again, of being a “right-wing, wacko Republican.” Since I am a little overweight – and a WHITE MALE – then that is all the proof that is needed. Guilty as charged. It is not true – but I am STILL guilty – because I FIT the Monopoly Media image of a Conservative Republican.

Again, Liberal v. Conservative, Right v. Left, women v. men!

Sun-Tsu wrote about this kind of tactic over a 1000 years ago – so if it is still going on today – there must be something to it.

The idea is to not fall for that trap.

The Monopoly Media FEEDS us the mental pablum that they want us to consume. The idea of it being Bush’s fault is a perfect example of this subtle brainwashing.

Now we have the unemployment figures in, and they are dismal to say the least. We have been told that the unemployment rate is back up to 9.2%.

But just this morning a spokesman for the White House said that, thousands of jobs have been saved. Then he amended himself and said, “Millions have been saved.”

I found myself shaking my head.

Have jobs really been saved? I don’t think so – but I bet that woman, Ernesto and I encountered last night, believes it – without question.

Yet, NOBODY talks about the U-6 data that is being held back from the American public.

The what? What in the hell is the U-6 data?

It is the actual unemployment figures for 6 months or longer – and it stands at an astonishing 20%.

Yet, NOBODY even knows about this method of measurement, let alone the real figures regarding unemployment.

That is probably Bush’s fault, too.

SHAME ON CISCO

And here is another piece of information that you WILL NOT hear in the Monopoly Media any time soon.

“Cisco Poised to Help China Keep an Eye on Its Citizens.”

This was a boldface headline – below the fold – in the Tuesday, July 5, 2011, issue of the WSJ.

So now we have a MILTI-BILLION DOLLAR company helping a COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT keep tabs on its citizens in China.

It looks like we are actually heading toward a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT after all.

But the Chinese citizens are not DEMOCRATS or REPUBLICANS. And that is precisely MY POINT.

They are, WE THE PEOPLE!

And now, an American company, along with other Western enterprises – with the willful backing of BOTH the United States Government AND the Communist Chinese Government – have AGREED to let this company SPY on its own citizens.

There is supposed to be upwards of 500,000 cameras installed in the city of Chongqing City over the next three years. It is dubbed the, “Peaceful Chongqing” project.

Peaceful my ass. It will only be “peaceful” when the Chinese Communist Government kills everybody that disagrees with their totalitarian, barbaric rule.

Whatever happened to President Obama and his statements on human rights for all “peoples of the world?”

Where the hell is Hillary Clinton, our FEMALE Secretary of State – who is supposed to be in favor of Women’s Rights worldwide? Does she not know that forced abortions and illegal land confiscations happen on a daily basis in China?

But yet, this is for “peaceful” purposes. How dumb have WE THE PEOPLE really become?

Did the number of cameras actually REGISTER? FIVE-HUNDRED THOUSAND.

The American Government is helping the Communist Chinese Government SPY on its freedom loving populace, in an area more than 25% larger than NEW YORK CITY.

Ladies and Gentlemen. This is not Communist v. Capitalist.

It is US v. THEM.

Is a camera coming to a city near you? I am NOT kidding. We are being played for fools – and if we do not wake up pretty soon – we will be in extremely deep shit.

SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND THE DEBT CEILING

A very good friend, Steve, and I were having tea and coffee the other morning and he made a great statement.

“Damn it, Larry. I have paid into Social Security all my life – and now this damn government is going to cut back on it. It is MY money. Why the hell doesn’t the government simply tell the employee unions to go to hell and cut their wages back instead.”

I tried to answer, but Steve beat me to it. “I’ll tell you why. Because they are beholden to the unions for their votes. So they go after old people – retired people who can’t fight back – and people who need medical care, because they can’t fight back, either.”

And he had a very good point – one I had not considered. Social Security recipients paid with THEIR OWN MONEY. It was entrusted to the government to hold for them until they retire.

But the government LIED AGAIN. Instead of simply cutting union wages back to a level that they should be, the government WILL CUT BACK on BOTH Social Security and Medicare – while only slightly tampering with government union contracts.

To do otherwise, would be political suicide for the Status Quo.

And therein lies the rub.

It is NO LONGER Bush’s fault. It is not Republican v. Democrat. It is WE THE PEOPLE v. THE STATUS QUO.

Wake up America.

I predict that the Republicans will fold – and the debt ceiling will be raised again. This I will take bets on.

They are in this TOGETHER – and we are getting screwed – YET AGAIN.

To illustrate this point – once and for all- the “Annual retiree costs in Providence, Rhode Island, now amount to an astounding 50% of city tax collections.” – SOURCE: WSJ, Monday, June 27, 2011, page A 17.

I live in California and I associate with a lot of government employees. It is all I can do to listen to them complain about how hard they have it.

Yet, this state has next to the lowest performance record for education scores in the country, one of the largest prison populations in the world, crime on the upswing – and we are going into BANKRUPTCY – yet the unions are fighting to save THEIR own bloated pension plans – and to hell with everybody else.

Please don’t misread what I just said. I said BLOATED pension plans. A reasonable pension system is not the question. It is the “gimme” mental attitude that is setting the STATUS QUO (government and its employees) against the rest of, WE THE PEOPLE.

Some semblance of order has to be restored – before it gets completely out of hand.

WHAT TO DO?

A lot of readers ask me, “What should I do?”

I don’t know why, but that question has always bothered me. Why don’t people know what to do? But that is another story.

Here are two suggestions:

With regard to CISCO. First, if you own shares of this company, sell them immediately. And second, write John Chambers, president and CEO of CISCO,and give him HELL for dealing with the Communist Chinese Government.

With regard to the debt ceiling – ANYBODY who votes to raise the ceiling – ESPECIALLY REPUBLICANS – write them any kind of scathing letter you can conjure up and send it to those people. Also, call and request an appointment to speak with them personally. Send a hundred e-mails protesting their vote. Tie up their Internet system. Raise hell – and keep raising hell – before a surveillance camera is installed on YOUR street corner.

A SAD NOTE

Betty Ford has just died. She was one of the GREAT women of our time. She spoke up for REAL Women’s Rights, stood by her husband through some of the toughest times in American history (Watergate – and the resignation of Richard Nixon and Vietnam), yet Betty Ford was always calm, courteous and, above all, a REAL tribute to Liberated American Women.

May this great lady rest in peace.

That is it for now.

Keep thinking positive and never give up!

Approximately 500 days until we have a chance at real HOPE and CHANGE. Let’s not blow it again.

“I always tell the truth; that way I don’t have to remember what I said.”

-Mark Twain-

When I was young, I was taught the story of George Washington cutting down the cherry tree, and then admitting to this indiscretion.

Whether he actually committed this act is up for debate. What is not up for discussion was the intent of the actual tale – to tell the truth.

I am not talking about simply telling the truth. What I am referring to is having the courage to tell the truth.

And therein lies the rub.

Americans have lost the courage to tell the truth – and then stand by their principles without flinching.

So, let me give some examples of telling the truth – in print format – and see if any other people have the courage and conviction to state their own concepts of truth in a written manner, via The American Telegraph Blog.

The reason I am doing this is because I have recently received a lot of “private” e-mails that have the implied sense of saying, “This is just between you and me. If you let on that I said this, I will deny it to the hilt.”

The basic concept of truth – and the courage that it takes to state it – has been systematically put to death in America.

I say, let’s start to tell the truth – and see where it takes us.

So here I go, saying things that are not – Politically Correct – but in fact, the Simple Truth:

I will take our prison system as an example.

Prisoners, in America, get better treatment than regular American citizens – who uphold the law and live by the rules. Prisoners – murders, rapists, and the like receive:

Free room and board (bed and place to sleep).

Free medical and dental care.

Free TV, education, computers, physical protection and are treated in a fashion not unlike royalty.

But it is not free. WE THE PEOPLE pay the total cost.

One way to reduce the prison population is to IMMEDIATELY release all first-time (marijuana) drug offenders – and keep all murderers, rapists and child molesters in jail – PERMANENTLY.

All current prisoners now on DEATH ROW should be given the choice:

Live the rest of their lives in prison

or

Take their choice of immediate execution by firing squad (very cheap), hanging (more expensive) or by lethal injection (most expensive).

And, as a side note, doesn’t it seem ludicrously ironic that just before a lethal injection is administered, they swab the area with alcohol, so there is no chance of infection? Is this not the apex of hypocrisy in, and of, itself?

Let the prisoner choose how he will live – or die. I totally support freedom of choice.

WHITE-COLLAR V. BLUE COLLAR CRIME

This is the biggest travesty of so-called justice in the American system of jurisprudence. It should be abolished immediately.

There are “resort prisons” all over the country. Bernie Madoff was miffed because the government did not send him to the prison that he wanted to go to. Instead, they sent him to one that lacked some of the amenities he had grown accustomed to, like a full tennis court, a full gym, an olympic size swimming pool and a bowling alley.

What the fuck is going on here?

And please don’t cringe when you read that word FUCK. In the most current issue of The Economist, that word is used not once, but twice, in an article talking about the death of Brian Haw – a British man who devoted his life to telling the truth – and paid dearly as a consequence. He was a staunch protestor of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Seems he was right on both counts – as to the lies that were employed during these foolish endeavors. But that is another story.

It is my opinion that all prisoners be treated exactly the same. In that sense, people like Bernie Madoff and Rod Blagojevich are put into the same cell as Big Bubba. Word would get out, soon enough, that crime DOES NOT pay.

Speaking of Blagojevich, did anyone care to count the other liars and cheats that have come from his illustrious state of Illinois?

Here are just a few:

George Ryan – Governor from 1999 -2003 – convicted of racketeering for actions as governor and secretary of state – 6 1/2 years in federal prison.

Dan Walker – Governor from 1973-1977 – pleaded guilty to bank fraud – just over a year and a half in federal prison.

Otto Kerner – Governor from 1961-1986 – convicted of bribery – three years in prison.

Mel Reynolds – US Representative – resigned in 1995 – convicted of misconduct with a 16-yer-old campaign volunteer – served more than two years in prison. Later convicted on federal wire and bank-fraud charges and sentenced to more than six years in prison. President Clinton commuted the sentence.

SOURCES: Associated Press; Charles Wheeler, University of Illinois-Springfield; Mike Lawrence and the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute – as published in the WSJ, Tuesday, June 28, 2011, page A3.

Please notice, with reference to the above-mentioned “public servants,” I did not state political party. Lying is endemic to BOTH parties.

Now, tell me again, what state is President Barack Obama from? And does he not lie every time he opens his mouth?

But yet, when he was called out – on the floor of the United States Congress for lying to WE THE PEOPLE – by Representative Joe Wilson – the Representative was FORCED to offer an apology by saying it was “spontaneous.”

Lying is lying – and we had better start getting ready to call it EVERY TIME we witness it. Call it on the spot. Don’t let it slide. Challenge the bastards at every turn. Have courage. Never back down.

THOU THALT NOT LIE

Ladies and gentlemen, I hate to tell you this, but the above “commandant” is NOT one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Some have tried to interpret this as saying, “Thou shalt not lie,” but that is NOT what the original 9th Commandment said. It was actually talking about lying against someone else.

So there I was, a young kind in Vacation Bible School, being lied to about lying. Talk about a mind-twister for a 10 year old kid. And I labored under that misconception for years – until I finally understood what “bearing false witness” really meant.

BUT, the concept of telling a lie was firmly embedded in me – and I have tried like hell to tell the truth ever since.

Does this mean I am a saint? Absolutely not. I have lied on numerous occasions – and have gotten into a lot of trouble as a result.

But I finally learned that if you lie, you just paint yourself into a smaller and smaller corner.

Lying doesn’t have as much to do with any “religious concept” as it does to simple survival.

I guarantee that if you lie – sooner or later – you will have to pay a very heavy penatly.

SO WHAT IS THE POINT?

Precisely this. If your representative is lying to you, call him on it – either personally, in print or at a Town Hall meeting.

Elections are coming in 2012, and, as of yet, WE THE PEOPLE are letting politicians from BOTH sides continue to lie to us.

Didn’t we get sick of OJ Simpson? What about Casey Anthony?

“The Terminator?”

Larry Craig?

John Edwards?

Governor Stanford?

The list is endless.

Now, please don’t get me wrong.

If Donald Trump steps out on his wife – that is OK with me.

If Bill Gates pulls a quick one on the road, no sweat off OUR backs.

What I am against is PUBLIC OFFICALS pulling this kind of shenanigans – and getting away with it. WE THE PEOPLE pay their salaries.

However, if they lie and get caught in the act, they go to some “resort compound,” spend a few years, get pardoned and then go on the speaking circuit, write a best-seller, or end up teaching at one of our “esteemed” universities around the country. No wonder kids nowadays think it is “cool” to lie.

Yet, some dumbass white-trash kid, or black guy who didn’t graduate from high school gets caught with a few joints in his possession – and he is locked up for years at a stretch.

Where is the justice in our justice system?

The concept of legalizing marijuana is coming around again. Give this some thought.

Take all the “prisoners” that are now serving hard-time for drug (marijuana) violations and set them out on immediate parole.

Free up much needed prison space for the REAL criminals – both White and Blue Collar – and throw the proverbial book at THEM.

Lock these sons-of-bitches up for years – not months.

NO PLEA BARGAINING.

And NO PARDONS.

The first place to start with prison reform is to make sure the right criminals are put in jail – and kept there for a very, very long time.

Only then will we start to get real, HONEST public servants back into the system.

Not until then.

JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN

I doubt that many people have ever heard of this man.

And that is a shame. He was one of the most highly decorated soldiers, and LEADERS, in the history of America. In 1893 he was awarded the CMH for his feats during his military career. Few leaders are awarded this highest of honors. Harry Truman once commented that he would gladly trade the American Presidency for the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I often wonder why certain people get all the glory – while those much more deserving – are relegated to the back of the room.

Yet, after reading about this unsung General, it occurred to me why this happens with such frequency. It seems that Joshua Chamberlain was one who not only was committed to telling the truth – but he was rock-solid in leading his men into combat – FROM THE FRONT. He is reported to have been wounded six times during his military career.

No wonder, more people don’t know about him. If a standard like this was set for all LEADERS, there would be very few who could measure up to that level.

The bar or excellence in leadership in America has been lowered to such a point that it is nothing but a joke nowadays.

The Crooks, Connivers, and Charlatans that pose as National Leaders are not only an embarrassment to the Nation – but to the whole World.

I venture to say that if our representatives of today were called upon to lead the country in another American Revolution – we would simply be out of luck.

Many of our “representatives” today have some sort of criminal record. Does that not astound anyone?

Congressmen and Senators, DUIs, hit-and-runs, shady murders, lying and cheating as a way of life, adultery run amok, spineless leaders sending young men and women into daily combat – with no real plan for VICTORY.

Appeasement, coddling of the enemy, Political Correctness – yes.

But firm, honest leadership with our Country’s best interests at stake?

Not on your life.

And now we have a “president” who has sequestered ALL his personal and “university” records – at the cost of millions of dollars – as our “leader” in the 21st Century.

It is amazing to actually consider what is taking place in America today.

The lies, hypocrisy and sheer COLLUSION of the government and big business is astounding. We are trading with our ENEMIES – yet pretend to have the best interests of America at heart.

It is all lies. And it is up to WE THE PEOPLE to call not only our own “president” a liar – but all those, both Democrat and Republican – that are playing the same game as liars, too.

Is it too late? I don’t think so. But we are getting precariously close to a tipping point – both here and abroad.

CHINA REVISITED

In my last American Telegraph I wrote about China – and how it was, in no way, to be trusted, with relation to the Communist Chinese Government.

A very good friend of mine, and noted computer expert in the field of international cyber-hacking, sent me an article that he wrote – but was explicitly warned NOT to publish in China – for fear of harsh “official” reprisal.

He asked me if I would print it here for the readers of The American Telegraph.

So, in the spirit of freedom and truth, I have included his article for all to read. It is a little long, and written in his own personal style. I had no input whatsoever on this. All credit, and courage, go to him for taking the time and effort to send this to me – out of China. It took some doing, but he got it done.

The Article

CYBER-WARFARE: CHINAS’S SECRET WEAPONS

Cyber-warfare is very topical these days with attacks on companies and government organizations featuring heavily in the news. Some may remember that before the arrival of the hacktivists there was, and still is, the problem of state sponsored cyber attacks. Google was brave enough to highlight this when it outed the Chinese government’s activities in attacking its servers.

The current outcry about the hacktivists and the calls for “heads to roll” and “lock them up and throw away the key” rhetoric has obscured the fact, that NOTHING the hacktivists can do can even begin to compare with the scope and scale of state run cyber attacks.

This article is an attempt to get some sense of perspective as to where the real danger lies and, unsurprisingly, it is not from the hacktivists – for they seek only publicity. The scope of hacktivist attacks is clear and is made public by the hacktivists themselves. There is no secret about what or how they do what they do. In fact, many cyber security firms are delighted that they are forcing companies to finally address major security flaws that they have negligently ignored in the past.

State run cyber-warfare is not so open and its secrets are well hidden. There is little public outcry because the public is unaware of the scope and scale of these attacks. So let’s just take the example of China’s state run cyber-warfare units to illustrate how much is hidden from the public.

China proudly boasts that more than 50,000 people are employed in the maintenance of the “Great Firewall of China” (GFC). Does anyone really think that there are only that many hacktivists? Does anyone believe that they are as tightly coordinated in their activities? And remember this is just the GFC, a public arm of the “Public Security Bureau” (PSB), it is not the military.

The main, but not the only, military unit for cyber-warfare is located in the city of Jinan, in Shandong province. It is the one most often touted as the source of China’s attacks but it’s only a small part of the total. If 50, 000 people can be employed publicly by the PSB, how many do you think are employed secretly by the “People’s Liberation Army” (PLA)? Keep in mind that the Chinese military numbers 2,285,000 active duty, 800,000 reserve and 1,500,000 paramilitary personnel for a total of over 4,500,000 people.

If this is not enough, also keep in mind that western technology companies, such as CISCO, provide the equipment to power the GFC.

In the rush to capitalise on the Chinese market, Western companies have played straight into the hands of the PLA.

Take Microsoft for example.

How many of you know that as a condition of allowing Microsoft to sell its software in China, that Microsoft must give the source code of its operating systems and software to the PLA? People worry about the dangers of “zero day exploits” and hackers stealing source code, yet no-one worries about the PLA using its access to Microsoft’s code to hack our systems!?

It is also worth remembering that Microsoft has to provide the code for patches as well, not just the base code. They MUST keep the PLA fully updated if they want to sell products in China.

But the problem runs deeper.

The PLA and the PSB monitor all Chinese citizens by the use of a very popular piece of social networking software called ‘QQ’ (pronounced Choo Choo). It contains backdoor Viruses, Trojans and Worms which can only be detected using Western antivirus software because, of course, Chinese antivirus software reports that ‘QQ’ is “squeaky clean.”

Right now you may be tempted to say:

“SO WHAT!?”

“Who cares if the Chinese want to spy on the Chinese?”

“No skin off my nose!”

The reason it should concern you, it that it is the overlooked secret weapon of the Chinese government.

Have you ever heard the term Botnet used when the news mentions the activities of cyber-criminals? A Botnet is millions of PCs tied together through the use of the same malware included in QQ. It gives the controller the equivalent of thousands of supercomputers to use at one time.

Grids such as SETI and Einstein do this legally, with the users consent, to create supercomputing grids that enable them to process huge amounts of data in physics (Einstein) or to scan the heavens for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).

The power of these distribution systems, when used legitimately, is enormous. But if they are used illegitimately (a Botnet) they are extremely difficult to block for the very reason that they areDISTRIBUTED. There is not just one target to block, but millions of them, and all of them are physically separated.

The Chinese have a NATIONAL BOTNET. It is directly controlled and administered by the PLA for cyber-warfare, and used domestically by the PSB for internal security.

This weapon of the Chinese is not given enough weight, as most people think of it as simply “Chinese spying on Chinese” – but it is much more than that. If the hacktivist kids playing with their toys worry you, then you should panic when you think of the cyber-warfare capabilities of the Chinese.

And all of this is safely hidden behind the “Great Firewall of China”, courtesy of CISCO, while Microsoft has kindly given them the key to most of the world’s computers.

They can attack from behind the safety of their GFC, while freedom loving societies are left wide open through the short-sighted, profit driven, nearsightedness of our own companies.

And you thought selling iron to the Japanese prior to the Second World War was stupid.

Food for thought, isn’t it?

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

From July 1st to July 3rd, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was fought in Pennsylvania, and is considered to be the turning point of the American Civil War.

The actual amount of dead and wounded are in discrepancy to this very day, however it is agreed that this three day battle, killed and wound more soldiers on BOTH sides, than any other battle in American history.

And this is the site upon which President Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address, ending with, “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

When we consider the tremendous sacrifices laid down – on both sides of this horrific war – it serves as a reminder to us all, how much blood and treasure has been given in the “making” of this great nation we call the United States of America.

Let me close by saying, we have the best years AHEAD of us.

We are a nation without equal. This, however, does not mean we are better – just uniquely more prepared than most, to give a dream of freedom – THE AMERICAN DREAM – to every man, woman and child on the face of this Earth – no matter what their race, religion, creed or color happens to be.

Having lived abroad for over a quarter century, I often witnessed people who spoke of America in nothing but glowing terms. Their eyes would seem to sparkle when they said they wanted to go to America to be “free.”

In no other country did I feel this expressed desire more than from my terrific students in the “People’s” Republic of China.

Americans who were born and raised in this country have no idea how lucky they really are.

The American Dream lives on – but it is up to WE THE PEOPLE to make sure that dream is never extinguished.

Last night, on TV, I watched the total ignorance of Karl Rove pour across the screen.

He was almost giddy with anticipation that Barack Obama is going to be a one-term president.

Is he really THAT stupid?

During my 50 years of association with the GOP – from my first riding campaign with my father honking his car horn all over the neighborhood and me yelling, “Sure to Click, with Ike and Dick,” – I have watched the gradual demise of a once proud and principled party into what it has become today: A mishmash of stupid, ignorant, loudmouth cowards who act like they are going to win the whole works come November 2012. And then we have the Evangelical Element to add even more stupidity to the mix.

In the military, I was taught that you NEVER underestimate your enemy. If you do, you will lose.

Then again, I realize that Karl Rove never entered the military when he had the chance to do so, during the Vietnam War. Odd how he, and other draft-dodgers of that era, are such staunch war hawks now. But that is another story.

One of Sun-Tsu’s most famous sayings is, “The first thing a general does is to determine the best route for an organized retreat – in case one is needed.” In other words, don’t let your battleship mouth overload your tugboat ass.

Another of his famous maxims is, “Once on the battlefield, everything changes.”

And everything HAS changed – to the subtle benefit of Barack Obama.

I am appalled at the myopic attitude of the so-called Republican “Leadership” for not getting any of this through their thick skulls.

I am convinced that they are not anywhere close to being in touch with what is actually taking place.

Obama has ALREADY begun his campaign for 2012.

Yes, I know. He has never stopped campaigning. But that is not my point.

If anybody watched his speech in New York, and understood what he REALLY said, you would be shaking in your boots at the actual prospects of him winning again in 2012.

Consider some of the details:

Obama “took out” bin Laden. Of course, it was the US Military – and the Seals in particular – but Obama took all the credit.

Obama has all of the unions on his side – throughout the country. The Democrats have successfully painted the Republicans as “anti-union” and the Republicans have done nothing to counter that image.

Obama now is mulling the prospect of bailing out the US POST OFFICE. How many employees does that count for, in the way of votes?

And speaking of votes – every government employee I have spoken to has vehemently asserted to me that they are going to vote for Obama, “No fucking matter what!”

Ladies and Gentlemen. I live in Sacramento – the Capital of California. Obama has got this State – along with New York – already wrapped up. How blind can the GOP really be?

They just passed a gay rights bill in New York – and the Democrats are licking their chops. They KNOW that the Evangelical Element will jump on this with both feet. This did not happen by chance. This was expertly timed – by the re-election committee of Barack Obama.

Obama will raise one BILLION dollars for his re-election campaign. The cost of his fundraising “dinner” was a paltry $30,000 – per plate.

Obama has let it be known that he is behind the concept of gay marriage. The Republicans will – again – hang themselves by the neck on this issue, and followup with a strong stance against a woman’s right to choose.

Obama has the FULL backing of the MONOPOLY MEDIA behind his campaign. If you refuse to watch anything but FOX News, you are an idiot of the first order.

Another of Sun-Tsu’s teachings is, “Know your enemy.” Pretty simple, but totally lost on the current crop of GOP “Leaders.”

Obama has just downsized the Military presence in Afghanistan, much to the delight of the left flank of his party. It is an absolute idiotic move militarily, but politically speaking it was brilliant.

I could go on, but I hope you are NOW starting to get the picture.

BUT WAIT! IT IS ALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY – STUPID!

If anybody actually believes this, then it is all over but the shouting – for Obama.

So here are a few predictions for the Rueful Right-wing to contemplate.

Obama just ORDERED the release of MILLIONS OF BARRELS of oil from the strategic oil reserve. Where is the emergency for this action?

Well, there is none – but Obama knows that cheaper gas will make a lot of other stupid Americans forget about all the mistakes that his Administration has made in the past.

Americans are concerned with only one thing nowadays – themselves! The Country be damned.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.

So here are my predictions for 2012:

The economy WILL be back on track, if even meagerly so. Yet, it will be portrayed as “rebounding” or even “buoyant” by the Monopoly Media.

Gas will be close to, our UNDER, $3.00 a gallon by November 2012.

Housing will have bottomed out and started to recover and will again be touted in a positive light by the Obama-loving Media.

The Stock Market will be above 14,000 by election day, or close to it.

Whether any of these predictions come true or are the TRUTH – will depend on how the Monopoly Media projects these individual circumstances – but if I am even close with these predictions, the GOP will be dead in the water – and so will America, as we know it today.

Simply put, the GOP will be standing around with their collective thumb up their proverbial ass.

No, this is not a defeatist attitude. It is a REALISTIC assessment of where the GOP, and this Country are headed, if WE THE PEOPLE don’t wake up – and wake up fast.

The Democratic Train has not only left the station – it is now full-steam ahead.

And the Republicans?

They have not even found their way to the platform yet (pun fully intended).

SO, GIVE US SOME IDEAS, INSTEAD OF JUST BITCHING!

OK, but you are not going to like what I have to say.

First off, get up and get involved.

I know. That is difficult to do – but that is exactly what Obama said at his fundraiser in New York. He implored the Democrats to get RE-INVOLVED, go door-to-door, use the Internet, sign up for political action groups, start an Internet blog, talk to friends and relatives, hand out literature – but get RE-INVOLVED.

During my life I have always tried to “do something good.” The Military, University, Living and Working Overseas, Running for Congress, The American Telegraph, and a multitude of activities in between.

When working on my MA Degree at San Jose State University, I was the only student in my graduate class that actually went out into the FIELD and worked with organizations to help establish the concept of “Community Education” with John Hanrahan, in Campbell, California.

The other students decided to do “classwork” instead. Out of the 30 or so participants in the program, only 11 graduated. I was one of them.

As always, it is up to WE THE PEOPLE.

So here are a few questions:

How many of you take the time to write your representatives on a WEEKLY basis? How many of you even KNOW who your representatives are?

When was the last time you actually called your representative? How many of you have taken the time to make an appointment, and go down and speak to your representative – IN PERSON?

How many of you have actually run for NATIONAL OFFICE?

Give me a break, people. It is not the fault of the Democrats for the shape of America.

It is YOUR FAULT. Every one of you who has not done any of the above – shame on you.

During my Congressional campaign, I rebuked the GOP for not having the courage to stand up and get rid of the destructive “right-wing” of the Party. I called them cowards for not doing so.

One woman, who was in “high standing” with the GOP (although a known alcoholic), took “great offense” that I – as a “neophyte, first timer” – had “the gall” to say such a thing. It is this kind of thinking that has helped to degenerate the GOP into what it has become today.

Ben Franklin once responded to a lady, when she asked, “What have you given us?”

His reply was, “A Republic – if you can keep it.”

It is up to WE THE PEOPLE to keep it.

I GOT A LETTER FROM MITT!

Yes, that is right. I got a personal letter from Mitt Romney.

Well, not really. What I actually got was a “mail-out” asking for money.

My heart sank as I opened it up and read – the same shit that he was sending out from his last campaign in 2008.

He has NOT changed his battlefield tactics one iota. It is still the same OLD Mitt.

A political mail-out? In the 21st Century?

My wife mused that his campaign manager should be fired. I went a little further and said that the bastard ought to be shot.

How much time, money and wasted expenditure did that consume? Anyone in his right mind realizes that the best result you can expect from any mass mail-out is a 5% positive response – at the most. That is a Business 101 fact.

And the GOP is still thinking about having this man as their standard-bearer?

This is insane. No, let me restate that. This is Political Suicide.

ANOTHER PREDICTION

I am sorry, folks. But I am getting very pissed off at the GOP – and their continued back-biting, mud-slinging and lack of any CONCRETE PLATFORM – at this late date.

So, here is another prediction.

If the GOP puts up Mitt Romney – and if he campaigns only on the ECONOMY – he will lose BIG TIME.

But that is NOT my prediction.

What I predict will happen – if the GOP loses again in 2012 – is that we will finally have the makings of a viable THIRD PARTY.

Maybe even a NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Or a NEW CONSERVATIVE PARTY.

Or a NEW AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE PARTY.

But the GOP will go the way of the Whigs – and I will be the first one to say good riddance. And take all the nuttos with you.

If this actually comes to pass – then the NEW PARTY – will have to have a stated PLATFORM, void of anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-anti – if you get my gist.

The New Party must have a platform that is presented in a POSITIVE LIGHT. The Republicans have allowed themselves to be painted into the corner as the “Party of No.” And they are doing absolutely nothing to rectify that picture.
